Joshua Kimmich was one of the key performers for Bayern
The Catalan giants are yet to overcome the semi-final humiliation, which is now infamously ascribed the 'Barca vs Bayern 2-8' defeat. Lionel Messi and co could not come to terms with the fierce display by the Bavarians in Lisbon, Portugal. Despite David Alaba netting into his own net to equalise for Barcelona, Thomas Muller and team did not let their guard down and went on to score seven more, in addition to the German's opener in the fourth minute.
Joshua Kimmich was one of the standout performers of the night as he slotted home once in the second half after a skillful display from defender Alphonso Davies. Besides the goal, Kimmich also played an important role in curbing the Barcelona attack, thus inviting appreciation from Toni Kroos.
