After Bayern Munich secured their place in the Champions League semi-finals with a 4-3 win over Real Madrid, sealing a 6-4 aggregate victory, Joshua Kimmich shared his thoughts on the game.<\/p>\n
The Bavarians fell behind early after a costly mistake from Manuel Neuer inside the opening minute, but managed to recover and ultimately prevailed.<\/p>\n

Kimmich admitted it was not Bayern\u2019s strongest performance, but was pleased they still got the job done.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course we didn\u2019t start the way we had hoped. But at half-time we knew that the advantage was on our side the longer the game went on,\u201d Kimmich told DAZN.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe knew before the game that both teams can really hurt the other: us with our pressing, with our possession, but Real also with their counterattacks.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think we were at our best today. That was certainly not our best game. We made a lot of mistakes. But we obviously still took the win.\u201d<\/p>\n
Looking ahead to PSG tie<\/p>\n
Looking ahead to the semi-finals, Bayern will face Paris Saint-Germain, a side they have met multiple times in recent seasons with mixed outcomes.<\/p>\n

Kimmich expects another tightly contested tie against the French champions, who advanced after a dominant 4-0 aggregate win over Liverpool.<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw Paris in the first leg. They are in pretty good form. You have to say they always seem to peak at the right time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve beaten them twice in the last two years. Last season, however, we lost at the Club World Cup. I think those were always matches at a very, very high level. I\u2019m definitely looking forward to both games.\u201d<\/p>\n
The first leg in Paris takes place on April 28, with the return leg in Munich on May 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After Bayern Munich secured their place in the Champions League semi-finals with a 4-3 win over Real Madrid,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5603,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[3771,266,187,3772,2585,82,2422,1498,83,1497],"class_list":{"0":"post-5602","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-madrid","8":"tag-aggregate-victory","9":"tag-bayern-munich","10":"tag-champions-league","11":"tag-costly-mistake","12":"tag-kimmich","13":"tag-madrid","14":"tag-manuel-neuer","15":"tag-psg","16":"tag-real-madrid","17":"tag-semi-finals"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5602"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5602\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
