“Look, you have got the best players in the world going at it the best attackers, the best defenders. Of course, sometimes the attackers are going to come out on top and show their quality, like both teams did today.
“When you go back and actually look at the centre-halves playing in midfield, playing in attack sometimes, playing out wide against the wingers, credit to them because it’s a really hard job, and I thought they were outstanding today.”
Bayern head coach Kompany also offered a refreshing take when asked about his side’s defensive performance.
He said: “What do you want? I think you’ve seen a lot of good, intense defending today it’s just the margins are so, so small, and you only have two ways.”
However, Rooney appeared to disagree with both Kane and the Bayern boss’ take, with the Liverpudlian claiming the forward was defending his team-mates.
“Maybe because they are his teammates, he is trying to give them a bit of confidence for next week.
“I think the defending from both teams tonight was really bad, so I think he’s being a bit modest there.”

The former Manchester United star said: “Both teams have got so much quality at the top end of the pitch that they probably forget to defend a little bit, and that means we get to enjoy some great goals.
“Luis Enrique is a top coach, so when they get the advantage of 5-2, he should have said, ‘Right, let’s shut up shop and get behind the ball and make it hard. See the tie-out.’ And then that is potentially us through to the final.
“But they didn’t; they went for more goals. Vincent Kompany, he’s obviously got a very attack-minded team.
