Lots of discussion in the last few weeks and in yesterday’s match thread if Bayern is a better team without Kimmich in the midfield and while I don’t want to argue for one side or the other, I do find it interesting how different the play styles are.

It’s very obvious that Kimmich is the main point of buildup whenever he plays, but it also opens up such easy counterplay that simply wasn’t there in the Dortmund game

All you have to do is press Kimmich, he will find a solution 98/100 times, but the 2 times he doesn’t you get a big chance (or a red like vs Darmstadt)

Idk how to fix it, not even a real #6 would help here, maybe he has to drop even further (Alonso style) to sit between the 2 CBs and have the coverage there
