Vincent Kompany tells Harry Kane and Bayern Munich stars to ‘have a beer’ at Oktoberfest and says ‘we will join in’
VINCENT KOMPANY has told Harry Kane and his Bayern Munich teammates to go to a beer festival – and indulge in full.
Manchester City icon Kompany has made a heady start to his career in charge of the German giants.
Bayern are top of the Bundesliga after winning all three games, and they thrashed Dinamo Zagreb 9-2 in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Kompany, 38, and his squad are due to attend Munich’s world-famous Oktoberfest on Sunday.
He, England skipper Kane and fellow ex-Premier League stars Michael Olise, Joao Palhinha, Leroy Sane and Eric Dier will don lederhosen for the occasion.
Belgian Kompany said: “The Oktoberfest is important for the players’ families to experience a bit of Munich and Bavaria’s culture.
“The festival is important for a lot of people. We are looking forward to it, and we will join in.
“The day before is all about our game at Werder Bremen, but then we will witness some Bavarian culture.
“Drinking beer is all part of it. If the players want to have a beer on Sunday I’ve got no problem with it.

“The main thing is that they are once again fit on Monday!
“Of course I’ll sometimes have a beer myself. I’m from Belgium, and the beer there is something special.
“A competition between Bavarian and Belgian beers would be at a pretty high level.
“I’ve never been to the Oktoberfest before, but I was in Munich with Manchester City while the festival was on.
“It was difficult even for City to find a hotel for our stay.”
