Musiala was removed on a stretcher and replaced by Serge Gnabry for the second half.
“I was rarely so angry at half -time, not against my players,” said Kompany.
“There are many things in life that are much more important than this, but in the end it is their lives for these boys.
“Someone like Jamal lives for it and he (recently) came back from a setback. And then it happens as it happens and they feel powerless.”
Company said he wanted his Bayern team to try to find motivation in the injury to the European Champions.
“They try to make strength because they want to do it for Jamal,” said the Belgian coach.

“If I was sitting next to you now, what my blood is still cooking at the moment, it is not the result.
“I understand that this is football, but it is the fact that it happened to someone who enjoys the game so much but is also very important for us.
“It didn’t look good … it looks like an ankle injury, but I will not make a diagnosis here.”
PSG player also showed support for the Youngster – one of the most promising young talents of football.
“You don’t want to see a shout-out from Jamal Musiala, who has suffered a serious injury,” said PSG defender Marquinhos to DAZN.
“It is important that we talk about Jamal Musiala,” said Achraf Hakimi.
“I want to give him my support. We hope to see him on the field again soon.”
