Kompany, who took over at the German giants this season, enjoyed a winning Champions League debut as coach, with striker Harry Kane scoring four times in a game with the most goals by one team in the competition's history and the second-biggest winning margin.
"It is about three points," the former Manchester City defender said.
"Nine goals is a bit unusual, but it was a lot of fun. The energy was good, the team showed the right spirit. We have played just one game and not more than that. It is now about the next game, to keep going."
It was not all praise from Kompany, who saw his team lead 3-0 at half-time, but concede two goals in two minutes shortly after the restart as the Croatian side tried to find a way back in Munich.
