Kimmich wants to stop Real’s individual class in the Bayern collective | OneFootball

Ahead of the Champions League clash against Real Madrid, Joshua Kimmich has found clear words – and above all emphasized the greatest strength of the Whites: their individual class. At the same time, the Bayern star is consciously focusing on the collective

At the final press conference, the 31-year-old made it clear that Munich must not look at Real’s dangerous individual players in isolation

Looking ahead to the clash with Vinicius Junior, Kimmich made it clear that Bayern would not be adopting a classic one-on-one approach. „We’re not playing one-on-one tomorrow. We want to solve this as a team and work as a collective,“ explained the midfielder

He showed the necessary respect for his opponents: „We know that Real have great quality in their squad.“

Nevertheless, the focus is clearly on his own performance: „It’s important that we bring our own strengths to the pitch.“

Kimmich was particularly clear in his assessment of Kylian Mbappé, saying that the French superstar is an absolute difference-maker. „Mbappé helps every team. He has extreme individual quality,“ emphasized the Bayern star

His importance for Real and the French national team is undisputed: „He is the captain of France.“ Mbappé makes the difference, especially in tight games: „He has decided many games this season.“

Kimmich’s clear conclusion: „He’s a weapon.“

Bayern know the danger

Despite the obvious quality of the Madrilenians, Kimmich believes he is well prepared. Bayern know what to expect. „I’ve played a lot of games against him, we know what to expect,“ he explained with regard to Mbappé

So the route is clear: respect for the individual players – but trust in their own strength as a team

Because that could ultimately be the key to beating Real Madrid at the Bernabéu.
