It looks terrible. My roomate Bayern fan is feeling literally sick by the thought of losing Kimmich to an ACL.

Utter shit pass by that Bayern right back though, to put Kimmich in that position.
Honestly it felt like it, I cringed watch that over extension like that. Sarr is a bit of a calamity

Good game thus far. In the first 10-15 minutes I was surprised how easily Dortmund got behind Bayern's backline. But then the latter intensified their pressing game, cut off the supply and Dortmund's build up wasn't sharp enough to cope. Bayern's offside goal was a showcase of how to punish an inconsequential press and Dortmund were really lucky with VAR there. Kimmich's injury looked like a big blow to Bayern, their players seemed shocked for a few minutes and their pressing was considerably less effective afterwards, though I don't know whether that wasn't just part of a normal energy management.
Before the injury it seemed like a Bayern win was inevitable, but afterwards it seems more like 50/50. Bayern's equalizer was a lucky deflection, but overall a goal was well deserved for them.

Whoever won the game
Whoever made that backpass to Kimmich should be punished, think it was Sarr.

Poor choice giving it back in the centre of the field with two rushing BVB players, and poor execution.

Kimmich then made that last ditch challenge, which should never have happened in the first place.

Big loss for football if ACL.

Unfortunaly he won't be. Big loss for the entire football world. Looks set to be the best midfielder in the world for the coming years.
Alright that's pushing it a bit :lol:

Dortmund have been getting in behind Bayern a bit too easily, their high line is very risky.
