Both?? I even thought it would be just the first leg.

Anyway this simplifies everything. Kovac's beef with Hames would need to be put aside as he has no choice but to start him

Does that coach look like someone that knows what he is doing for your eye? Shame no catch you after that calamitous display from Hummels talk true

But weren't you hailing the coach before for benching Hummels? For Hummels to be this poor, Boathand might be poorer, but i want him against Liverpool. Boathand must play.

Bringing to you the latest episode of the Mats Hummels show

Ohh so you agree Hummels was benched?

Happy birthday to the best right back in the world and possibly the most versatile player of all time, Joshua Kimmich!

It's hard to believe you are just turning 24, JK. You've displayed unbelievable skill and ability beyond your years over the course of your still nascent career.

Yours is a truly special story. It's not everyday you see a player make a jump from a lower division club to one of the biggest clubs in the world. But that was just what you did. You were not intimidated and took the chance with both hands. Today, you are a multiple league winner and one of the first names on the Die Mannschaft team sheet. You are unarguably the best at what you do.

Your drive and desire to win is unmatched among your teammates. Everytime you step out on that pitch, you mean business. Your passion is incredible and scary at times though, i must confess. There have been instances where I have feared for the red mist, but you have always kept it together. Never one to back down from a confrontation with those who step on your toes, teammates and opposition alike. You don't take shiit from nobody, not even from Rudiger and Vidal. Even referees are not exempted

We thought replacing Philipp Lahm was impossible but you've made us believe otherwise. You display the same traits of consistency and leadership that Der Kapitan was a model of and you are right on track to emulating and surpassing his great achievements. You are already a better player at this age than he was. Though your defending could use just a little upgrade at times but it's all good. You've only being a right back for 3 years and you are already the best there is. That defense will get better in due time.

I've never met you and probably may never do but I do feel like a part of your success story. Following your growth right from the European U-19 Championship way back in 2014, to signing for Bayern to becoming a fully-fledged Germany international. It's been an amazing journey. One on which there is still more to come.

Wishing you the very best in your personal life and career. More blessings, more trophies and more individual accolades and recognition

Some fun facts you might or might not know about Joshua Kimmich. These are bits and pieces of trivia and anecdotes gathered over my years of following JK's career. You won't find some of these facts on Wikipedia and would take a great deal of Googling.

International Debut

JK made his international debut alongside Leroy Sane against Slovakia back in May 2016 in an Euro 2016 preparatory game . It was a freak game with Germany taking an early lead only to lose 1-3 all against a background of a relentless outpour of rain, that made for an unenjoyable game of football at times. An interesting first step into International football for JK.

Der Kapitan

JK has been touted as a future Bayern and Germany captain due to impressive leadership skills and composure. He did get to wear the armband for the first time in a Confed Cup match against Mexico in June 2017 after starting skipper Julian Draxler was taken off. He has captained the national side a few times since then.

He also got to captain Bayern for the first time in a preseason Audi cup friendly 2-nil loss to Napoli in August 2017. Admittedly, it was a second string side with plenty of academy players but I think Vidal also started that game. So, yeah. Leader.

First Injury

JK's Bayern career could have gone differently. Flashback to the preseason summer of 2015. Enjoying his first preseason with the club, he started an Audi cup game against AC Milan. Few minutes into the game, he was on the recieving end of a crunching tackle from no one other than Nigel De Jong. A man with a history of aggressive play and leg breaking. Remember him snapping Ben Arfa's leg or stamping on Xabi Alonso's chest in a World Cup final with a Kung Fu kick. JK just about got lucky and limped off only with a minor injury. A lucky escape, you might say.

So furious was Pep with De Jong's tackle that he challenged him in the tunnel after the first half and had to be separated from him.

31. . 32
JK has never hidden his admiration for his childhood idol Bastian Schweinsteiger. A player with whom he shares a similar playing style as a midfielder. As a matter of fact, his likeness to Basti was a big part of why he caught my eye in the first place.

In a twist of fate, JK was the first person to let the cat out of the bag about Schweini's impending exit from Bayern in the summer of 2015, albeit accidentally. This was before any official statement from the player or the club.
It was rather symbolic that he would be the one to do this. A passing of the torch, if you may. Like from Jordan to Kobe, 23 to 24. Schweini to Kimmich, 31 to 32.

JK did get his chance to play with his hero with the national team at Euro 2016.


Favorite movie
JK is a big fan of the epic Gladiator movie starring Russell Crowe. Are you not entertained?

Toughest Opponent
For someone who has come up against players like Ronaldo and Neymar, JK's choice of his toughest opponent is a bit baffling.

His pick: Chelsea misfit Alvaro Morata. Referencing a second leg game against Juve back in 2016 where he played at CB, he confessed Morata gave him hard time saying how he was strong(?), fast and had plenty of technique. In truth, Morata did run the Bayern defence ragged that night and his substitution gave Bayern some breathing space and chance to get back into that game.

Dressing room buddies

JK shares a close relationship with Mats Hummels in the Bayern dressing room and has a locker beside Kingsley Coman

Record breaker
Kimmich broke Franz Beckenbauer's longstanding record of most consecutive starts in competitive games for the German national team in a World Cup qualifier against Northern Ireland back in 2017. Coincidentally, Kimmich started his run against N. Ireland at Euro 2016. He duly marked the landmark with a goal and assist.
