""No, I don't think so," Kimmich told TNT Sport when asked if Arsenal were the toughest team Bayern had faced this year. "I think PSG was the toughest one. Especially the way they play. "Arsenal is completely different. They rely on set pieces. They love to play long balls. They love to fight for second balls. It was a completely different game against PSG. It was more of a football game."
""Today was not so much about football. It was more about game management and duels. Arsenal did this really well tonight. Their win was well deserved but we have to learn from this game.""
Joshua Kimmich stated that Paris Saint-Germain represented Bayern Munich's toughest opponent this season, citing PSG's playing style. Bayern lost 3-1 to Arsenal at the Emirates, with goals from Jurriën Timber, Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli. Kimmich contrasted PSG's "football game" with Arsenal's reliance on set pieces, long balls and second-ball battles. He described the Emirates match as focused on game management and duels, praised Arsenal's performance as well deserved, and said Bayern must learn from the defeat. Timber's goal originated from a Bukayo Saka corner and Martinelli's third came from a long counter-attacking pass. Arteta described Arsenal as having beaten the "best side in Europe."
