Bayern Munich is not having a good season in the German Championship, the Bavarian club lost the competition title to Bayer Leverkusen after 11 consecutive victories and is in second place, with 69 points in 31 games. Despite this, Kimmich stated that the team will compete in the knockout stages with a different spirit.
“We have to play with a lot of confidence and we have to be very focused. This season hasn’t been so good for us. However, in the Champions League we go with a different spirit. It’s a very special feeling to play in the semi-final against Real Madrid”, reported.
The midfielder also praised Brazilian Vinicius Júnior and bet on collective play to be able to stop him.
“Vinicius is one of the best players in Europe. He’s very dangerous and fast. It’s not one-on-one, and that’s why we must defend well as a team.”
