The legendary German also heaped praise on 'Best Player in the World' Robert Lewandowski...
The versatile Joshua Kimmich is undoubtedly one of the most important players in Bayern Munich’s set-up.
The 25-year-old, who played a key role in Bayern Munich’s treble-winning 2019-20 season, will be looking to help the Bavarians win the Club World Cup which has kicked off in Qatar.
Kimmich, who can play in defence as well as midfield with aplomb, has left a German legend in Lothar Matthaus mighty impressed.
