Joshua Kimmich marks a strong Hinrunde with perfect performance
The attacking players have stolen headlines for Bayern Munich this season. Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala have been consistently on the scoresheet for Die Roten, while other forwards have also shone under Vincent Kompany. However, Joshua Kimmich is the most consistent Bayern player under the Belgian coach.
Kimmich made his 15th consecutive Bundesliga start on Friday. He has not missed a minute of Bundesliga action for Bayern this season. The German midfielder is Kompany’s main man in the center of the park. He has been incredibly consistent for Bayern, dropping 8/10 performance every weekend in the Bundesliga.
The 29-year-old rounded off a productive Hinrunde with a stellar performance against RB Leipzig. Kimmich sprayed passes for fun in the center of the park, completing 93% of the passes he attempted on Friday. The German international also worked hard out of possession, making sure RB Leipzig never got a sniff in the game.
Kimmich managed to put an icing on the cake by grabbing a goal and assist on Friday. It was a complete performance from Bayern’s player of the Hinrunde. The Bavarian faithful will hope a contract extension for Kimmich is a mere formality as he is back to his best after an indifferent last season.
