FC Bayern win for the fourth time in a row against BVB
In the German soccer classic, Borussia Dortmund had to give Bayern Munich 2: 3. Robert Lewandowski and Erling Haaland achieved top marks.
Joshua Kimmich commits a tactical foul on Erling Haaland in FC Bayern’s game in Dortmund. The national player avoids the counterattack with his action. But the price for this could be very high.
secondJoshua Kimmich was injured in FC Bayern’s 3: 2 (1: 1) match in Dortmund. Although there is no official diagnosis yet, the images point to something worse.
It happened in the 34th minute: after a weak pass from right-back Sarr, Kimmich slid the ball through the center circle. Dortmund striker Erling Haaland lurked behind him, who immediately sped up and ran with the ball in the direction of Bayern’s goal. The Norwegian could hardly have been stopped unless Kimmich attacked him.

The national player did that. He started tackling and hitting the Norwegian with his right knee. He stumbled a lot, but he did not drop, but tried to continue the attack from which Kimmich had stopped. However, this freaked out, no goals were scored.

But Kimmich stayed after the scene and saw referee Manuel Gräfe the yellow card. A totally correct decision, which almost made the referee uncomfortable with Kimmich’s suffering.
At the time, the warning was Kimmich’s least concern anyway. The midfielder put his hands to his pained face, tears running down his cheeks. Kimmich was first examined by team doctor Jochen Hahne and physical therapist Helmut Ehrhard, but he didn’t go any further. He had to be pulled out of the square with support, where coach Hans-Dieter Flick hugged him.
“We will wait and see it very professionally,” said Flick, not wanting to send any report on the water level: “Josh is a key player, his failure would not be easy to deal with. Kimmich flew the team back to Munich that night, an exact diagnosis should be just giving away on Sunday. BILD reported a ligament injury at night.

“His reaction didn’t look good,” Dortmund Mats Hummels said after the game: “Kneeling always sucks. I hope for Josh, for Bayern, for the DFB that he comes out reasonably fit. He’s a great footballer and a great guy. “
A serious knee injury would hit Bayern hard, but also the national team. Kimmich, who has been in good shape for a long time, is a constant in both teams’ defensive midfield. Last season he had decided the maximum game in Dortmund with his goal.
