Thought I was about to collapse: Kimmich on the intensity of the PSG match | OneFootball

The Champions League match between FC Bayern Munich and PSG truly had it all: goals, a red card, and intensity at the highest level.

Even tireless runner Jo Kimmich had to catch his breath.

"We were very present physically, and I have to say, that was one of the most intense halves of my career," the Bayern star explained to the 'Amazon Prime' microphone, adding with a grin: "After 25 minutes, I looked up and thought, I'm about to keel over."

In the second half, after the red card, FCB even had to defend with ten men against the reigning CL champions.

Kimmich was lying on the ground with cramps shortly before the final whistle. With enough magnesium tablets in his system, the DFB captain will surely recover quickly from one of the most grueling halves of his more than twelve-year professional career.

If not – then a look at the table will certainly help: After the victory in this clash of giants, Bayern lead the Champions League group with twelve points.
