Kimmich makes his choice clear between Arsenal and PSG | OneFootball

Joshua Kimmich, 30 years old, still had sharp analysis in the mixed zone after Bayern Munich's 3-1 defeat against Arsenal. The German midfielder assured that Paris Saint-Germain represented, in his opinion, a much more difficult challenge than Arsenal, highlighting the difference in playing style between the two clubs.

Kimmich "Arsenal is completely different"

This statement from Joshua Kimmich might be surprising the day after a Bayern defeat, but it tells something: for a player accustomed to the Champions League battles, Paris Saint-Germain remains the most complex opponent to maneuver. Not because of prestige, but because of their style of play: a football of control, mobility, and constant accelerations, difficult to anticipate, even for a team as structured as Munich.

By contrasting this with Arsenal's game, which the German considers very dependent on set pieces, Kimmich highlights a tactical contrast. PSG imposes a real-time reading of the game; Arsenal, discipline on set phases. It's not an empty compliment: it's a recognition of Parisian specificity at the highest level, and an implicit way of saying that the Gunners won... but not by imposing the most formidable challenge.
