Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich impressively filled the void at right-back against RB Leipzig
February 25, 2024
Joshua Kimmich was the last (healthy) man standing for Bayern Munich.
When Joshua Kimmich joined Bayern Munich in 2015, the squad was packed with a wealth of capable central midfielders including Philipp Lahm, Thiago, Xabi Alonso, and Arturo Vidal. Just to get on the pitch, Kimmich volunteered to play at right back. During the 2020 Champions League title run in Lisbon, Kimmich played right back in all four wins.
Last month against Hoffenheim and Union Berlin, Joshua Kimmich started at central midfielder and then switched to right back to finish out both wins. Against RB Leipzig, Kimmich played the full 90 minutes at right back and helped ensure a big win for Bayern.
