Burnley boss Kompany delighted for Maatsen over Champions League success

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany is delighted for Ian Maatsen.

The Chelsea loanee has reached the Champions League final with Borussia Dortmund. He spent last season on-loan at Turf Moor.

Kompany said: "It's an achievement for him and his parents, the people who have supported him to get to this level.

"He's a kid who came in with a terrific attitude, he was in the Championship, he was a talented player but he was never too big for us in his mentality. He was willing to learn, talented at the start.

"I'm not surprised he's reaching those levels and I think we have players in this team that will go on to do the same."
