A feat that very few players have hit during time with Die Mannschaft. During the Nations League Finals, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bavarianfootballworks.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bayern Munich<\/a> star was asked about his most memorable matches with the national team. Kimmich was quick to provide his answer.<\/p>\n<p id=\"qscorW\">Kimmich named three matches. The Spanish game at the Euros, where there was a wave of euphoria, is an understandable pick. A game that Germany could have won, and with a late equalizer by Florian Wirtz, it is a memorable game for many fans as well. However, is now looked back on with disappointment and frustration.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u2022 When you look back on your national team career, which game(s) do you immediately remember?<\/p>\n<p>Kimmich: &#8220;The Spain game at the Euros, we had the feeling we could&#8217;ve won that.

There\u2019s also the Confed Cup final against Chile that we won.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"1G2LEK\">Kimmich also named the narrow defeat against France at Euro 2016. A game were blunders once again costed the Germans, and were not on the right side of history. But heading into this match, Germans were possibly favorites and coming off a 2014 World Cup win.<\/p>\n<p id=\"qZv65f\">Lastly, Kimmich named the 2017 Confederations Cup victory over Chile. Hopefully there are more victories for Kimmich ahead, such as the 2026 World Cup, where Julian Nagelsmann\u2019s Germany should have a strong chance of contention, despite a slip up at the Nations League Finals.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joshua Kimmich has earned 100 caps now during his time the German national team.
