Rummenigge expressed his regret that an all-German final against Borussia Dortmund did not materialize.
Rummenigge also confirmed that Kompany’s arrival at Bayern is imminent, with final details being sorted out. He credited Guardiola for speaking highly of Kompany and providing valuable input in the decision-making process.
