Bayern/PSG – Kimmich pulls no punches after the exit | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich faced off this Wednesday at the Allianz Arena in the second leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League semi-final (final on May 30 against Arsenal). The match ended with Paris qualifying after a 1-1 draw (5-6 on aggregate, Bayern/PSG highlights). After the match, German team midfielder Joshua Kimmich (31) spoke in the mixed zone.

Kimmich: “I’ve never had a season like this one.”

A difficult elimination?

In my 11 years at the club, this has been our best season – even better than the treble-winning season. Back then, we didn’t play good football for half the season, then we turned things around in the second half. But in terms of consistency over a full season, I’ve never had a season like this one. So it makes it even more bitter that we were eliminated today.

Kimmich: “We were level with a very strong PSG.”

What was missing?

Everyone in the dressing room believes this team can win the Champions League. We believe in the coach, the staff, and in ourselves. Something is growing. Last season, we were already good and we were not the worse team [against Inter]. This season, we were closer, and we were level with a very strong PSG. We’ll go for it again next season.

Kimmich: “We made too many mistakes in the key moments.”

Did the refereeing hurt you?

I want to talk about our own performance, not the referee. We made too many mistakes in the key moments. But I don’t think it will derail us. I still believe this team can win the Champions League. Unfortunately, not this year.
