With over 100 appearances for German giants Bayern Munich to his name, it’s hard to believe that Joshua Kimmich is only 23 years old. The right-back had a
brilliant season for Bayern as the Bundesliga team reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League. Despite being beaten by eventual champions Real Madrid in the semis, Kimmich made it to the Champions League team of the season, courtesy his four goals and three assists in Europe.
Kimmich made his international debut for Germany at the 2016 Euros. By the age of 22, Kimmich had established himself as a first-choice full back for both club and country. And in October 2017, the defender was given the captain’s armband, becoming the German captain since 1912.
Considering all these statistics, it would only be correct that everyone will pay attention to him in the world cup and expect him to do wonders this time.
