Arsenal Will Be A Tough Test For Bayern Munich – Kimmich

Bayern Munich defender Joshua Kimmich has said the club’s Champions League clash against Arsenal on Nov. 26 will be a true measure of Vincent Kompany’s team. This comes after a 2-1 win against Paris Saint-Germain, which extended their winning start to the season to 16 games.

According to him, Arsenal have been very good in the EPL and UCL this season, so their game will give a clear indication of where Bayern are at the moment.

Kimmich added that the Bundesliga champions showed incredible resilience to defeat PSG with ten men away from home.

His words, “We are first and have Arsenal in the next game. Then we can see once again where we stand.

But in Paris, especially the first half, we were already outstandingly good.

We were incredibly resilient, had many really good chances and were physically very present. I must say, the first-half was one of the most intense halves of my career, of both teams, this constant man-on-man game and in the second half it felt even more intense.”

Neuer added, “With 10 men, of course, it is not easy, and the second half was a real fight. But we often train such situations — numbered against outnumber — and it’s about defending really well and against PSG we have shown that we can do this.

We wanted to stand compact and try to hold the ball in front. That was hard because we were outnumbered — even in the front line.

For the strikers, including Harry Kane, it was not easy to hold the balls against three opponents or to get a free kick. But overall, we did well.”

WOW.
