Joshua Kimmich has expressed his opinion on which has been the most difficult team Bayern Munich has faced this season. Despite the 3-1 defeat against Arsenal in the Champions League, the German midfielder considers that Paris Saint-Germain presented a greater challenge.
Bayern suffered their first defeat of the season at the Emirates Stadium, with goals from Jurriën Timber, Noni Madueke, and Gabriel Martinelli. However, Kimmich feels that PSG, whom Bayern beat 2-1 earlier this month, posed a more significant threat.
No, I don’t think so. I think PSG was the most difficult. Especially because of the way they play.
