Vincent Kompany lamented Bayern Munich's injury problems after they bowed out of the Champions League in the quarter-finals.

Bayern earned a 2-2 draw at Inter in the second leg on Wednesday, but having lost the first leg 2-1, they were knocked out of the competition following a 4-3 aggregate defeat.

Harry Kane had put Bayern level in the tie with the opener at San Siro, but goals from Lautaro Martinez and Benjamin Pavard flipped the tie. Eric Dier pulled the visitors level again on the night, while Thomas Muller was also denied a late aggregate leveller by Yann Sommer.

Kompany's side were without a clutch of important players for both legs, with the Belgian acknowledging that it played a big part in the tie. 

"I think the big issue, before Inter, was injuries," Kompany told reporters.

"We had to understand what we could do without [Hiroki] Ito, [Dayot] Upamecano, [Jamal] Musiala, [Manuel] Neuer, [Alphonso] Davies, [Kingsley] Coman, [Aleksandar] Pavlovic."

Despite those problems, Kompany's side gave a good account of themselves across both games and made Inter suffer.

They had 20 shots in Wednesday's game, creating 1.4 expected goals (xG) and had six shots on target, the same as Simone Inzaghi's side.

However, Bayern have now been eliminated from the Champions League in the last eight in four of the last five seasons (2023-24 the exception), having progressed from eight of their nine quarter-final ties prior.

And it means they will not be a part of the final at their own Allianz Arena.

"I think in the first game we showed a good Bayern Munich. I'm not talking about the result. In the second game, we also showed a positive attitude in Milan," Kompany said.

"We had many scoring chances, more than Inter. I have mixed feelings. The harsh reality is that we will not play the Champions League final at home.

"We can't change that. The other aspect is the performance. We know we have done enough to win these games."

Kompany was asked whether the hectic schedule was a factor in the injury crisis: "Unfortunately, I don't decide.

"In addition to the many games, there are long journeys, and the pressure increases when we have absences."
