Bundesliga: Kimmich’s demand: have to play adults

National team captain Joshua Kimmich made clear demands for the quarter-finals in the Champions League against Inter Milan on the way to the championship title. “We have to become more adult and become more effective,” said the Munich midfield boss after the 2-2 (0: 0) in the Bundesliga against Borussia Dortmund. “We have left a lot in the past few weeks.”

Kompany would buy an admission ticket for such a game

In a first lame, but then gripping classic, the Münchner claimed their lead of six points on Doublesieger Bayer Leverkusen in the table of the Bundesliga. “It was like a cup game. I would buy a ticket for such a game. But as a trainer you want to have more control,” said coach Vincent Kompany about the Dortmund match. “We wanted to stay six points ahead of Leverkusen. That was a good point today.”

After the 0: 1 by Maximilian Beier (48th minute), Bayern first turned the game with goals of the Joker Raphaël Guerreiro (65th) and Serge Gnabry (69.). Waldemar Anton saved BVB the point (75th). In the remote duel with the Munich team, Bayer Leverkusen had previously left points in the 0-0 against Union Berlin. “I think we can live with the point,” said Bayern scorer Harry Kane. “We have to think from game to game, knock everything in, and then we see what the point is worth at the end.”

Kimmich: No wonder in Milan is needed

On the way to the 34th championship title, FC Bayern is on track, in the Champions League there is a threat of this seven weeks before the dreamed final on May 31 in Munich at Inter Milan. The Munich team lost the first leg 1-2.

“It’s not that you need a miracle now,” said Kimmich. “We have to win a game and with the mindset we should go into play. I think everyone in the cabin is convinced that we can also win in Milan.” The Thomas Müller, who had run as captain, saw it similarly. “Whether you have to speak of miracles,” said the 35-year-old in view of the deficit from the first leg.
