Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich is the man of the hour after his lone goal powered the Bavarians past a strong Arsenal side and into the semifinals of the Champions League.
For now we’ll focus on the semifinals, then we’ll see what happens.”The Bayern #6 — for the moment no longer the No.
“The second half, in particular, was very, very good,” Kimmich added.
You could tell Arsenal wanted to control the game, but were afraid of our counter-attacks.
We made a very good start to the second half, with a very good chance for Leon Goretzka, and a number of dangerous attacks after that.
Back at right-back? No problem. Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich is the man of the hour after his lone goal powered the Bavarians past a strong Arsenal side and into the semifinals of the Champions League.
“It’s an amazing feeling to score such an important goal in front of our fans on a night like tonight,” Kimmich said afterwards for DAZN (as captured via @iMiaSanMia). “These are the moments you work for and we’ve worked hard for it. Today I got the reward, so I’m happy about it. For now we’ll focus on the semifinals, then we’ll see what happens.”
The Bayern #6 — for the moment no longer the No. 6 — broke the game down in greater detail, as captured by FCBayern.com.
“The second half, in particular, was very, very good,” Kimmich added. “We could have scored one or two more goals. At the end of the day, if you take both games into account, especially today, we deserve to go through.
“Both teams were very nervous in the first half. Nobody wanted to take any risks. You could tell Arsenal wanted to control the game, but were afraid of our counter-attacks. We made a very good start to the second half, with a very good chance for Leon Goretzka, and a number of dangerous attacks after that. We played much better in the second half and with more determination, and deserved to progress.”
Now Bayern is set to play Real Madrid, but with the possibility to meet Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund in the Final.
“A German final would be a dream. But there are two very difficult games ahead. The dream of Wembley is big,” Kimmich said (via Az journalist Maximilian Koch).
