Sorry to break it to you, but Kimmich just won a treble as a midfielder.He's won all that as a right back. We'll see if Bayern win a treble with him in midfield.

Make that a quadrupleSorry to break it to you, but Kimmich just won a treble as a midfielder.
While I don't disagree, for some reason I feel that the current Bayern haven't matched that 2013 Bayern side yet. Nothing against the current Bayern, but I rate that 2013 side as one of the best club teams ever, certainly top 3. Surely the current Bayern generation can match that, but they haven't yet. Just like Kimmich can match Schweinsteiger, but he hasn't yet.Sorry to break it to you, but Kimmich just won a treble as a midfielder.
He made the key play in the CL final from RB? It was a cross right onto Coman's head so good he scored even though he's shite in the air?Sorry to break it to you, but Kimmich just won a treble as a midfielder.
Don‘t think your reply was intended for me but nonetheless I agree for the most part.While I don't disagree, for some reason I feel that the current Bayern haven't matched that 2013 Bayern side yet.

That world cup final, where first Khedira got injured in warmup and later Kramer early on in the game, which caused Schweinsteiger to be the lone CM for almost 120 minutes was the most warrior-like performace I have seen. The way he marked Messi out of the game while also having a personal battle with Marscherano, was unbelievable. A performance forever in the history books. Sure, again, Kimmich is 25 and can match that, he has the same fighting spirit in him as Schweinsteiger in that final, but he hasn't yet.
I was going to to start a thread after the final for comparing the 2013 side versus this year's to see what people thought as to which was better.While I don't disagree, for some reason I feel that the current Bayern haven't matched that 2013 Bayern side yet.

What are you on about? He played as a right back in the final stages of the CL.Sorry to break it to you, but Kimmich just won a treble as a midfielder.
He played probably 3 out of 50 games at RB due to Pavard being injured. The others he played as a DM/CM.What are you on about? He played as a right back in the final stages of the CL.
The most important games of the season he played them at right back.He played probably 3 out of 50 games at RB due to Pavard being injured. The others he played as a DM/CM.
He is a midfielder.
Mate, he played there because there was no RB available. Yes, I choose to ignore Odriozola who was hot trash.The most important games of the season he played them at right back.
Schweinsteiger also never played for Stuttgart. That’s a stain on his resume as well.Since Schweinsteiger never won the treble as a RB, I gotta give it to Kimmich.
White text
Out of 11 games in the CL, he played 5 in DM, 6 as RB. In the domestic cup, it's 3 and 3. In the BL, he played all 34 games in DM.You mean when he was a winger? He was pretty much a mediocre one. However as a midfielder very few have been better than him. Certainly can't compare kimmich to him. He's won all that as a right back. We'll see if Bayern win a treble with him in midfield.
I'm sure I didn't watch the Bate game but I did watch Bayern vs Arsenal and it's quite ridiculous to say Bayern struggled tbh.I think 2020 team shades the 2013
The 2013 team were not this dominant they struggled vs Arsenal Valencia and Bate in the group
2020 crushed everyone home and away.
Spurs 10-3, Chelsea 7-1, Barcelona 8-2
Probably the world cup win improved the perception of the 2013 team
The 2013 team was defensively more solid but the 2013 team is more dangerous going forward. Close call.Out of 11 games in the CL, he played 5 in DM, 6 as RB. In the domestic cup, it's 3 and 3. In the BL, he played all 34 games in DM.
So when you say "He's won all that as a right back." that's factually incorrect. Sorry. He "won all that" basically playing DM and you only paid attention to the last four games because of the mini-tournament they had, where he was put back in that position due to Pavard's injury. Sorry to embarass you, I gave you an out but you didn't take it. This is on you.
As @SilentStrike said (btw it was one early goal and one late goal by Arsenal), Bayern dominated both games against Arsenal and missed plenty chances in the 2nd leg. They also didn't play their full XI with Ribery, Schweinsteiger and Boateng.I think 2020 team shades the 2013

I am reluctant to put one team over the other or comparing players. Different situations shape different players. 2013 and 2020 were both pretty decent teams. The biggest difference is that 2013 saw a team in its autumn, having perhaps one of the last big opportunities to make something happen, whereas this 2020 team is in its spring, with only a few key players being over 30 (Neuer, Müller, Lewa). Everyone knew 2013 was difficult to keep up, this time around it feels like the team might actually keep up the challenge for a few more years.The 2013 team was defensively more solid but the 2013 team is more dangerous going forward. Close call.
Vs Bate we lost 3-1 away. I think we got 11 points in the group tied with Valencia while the 2020 team won every gameI'm sure I didn't watch the Bate game but I did watch Bayern vs Arsenal and it's quite ridiculous to say Bayern struggled tbh.
The first leg in London Arsenal were lucky they had lost 'only' 1-3.
Then in Munich Bayern were in controll all game, had good chances all game and then Arsenal fluked two late goals, one if which in extra time if my memory serves me well so even then Bayern weren't in trouble for a moment. It was more complacency than anything else, after winning the first leg with 3 away goals.
