Joshua Kimmich expressed relief after Bayern Munich's tense 1-1 draw against Celtic, highlighting the lessons learned from their previous Champions League exit to Villarreal. Kimmich emphasized the team's discipline in preventing a similar collapse, which allowed them to secure a late equalizer through Alphonso Davies. This performance is a crucial morale boost and sets the stage for Bayern's next challenge in the Bundesliga against Eintracht Frankfurt, while they prepare to face tough opponents Atléti Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League knockout stages.
Three years ago against Villarreal we wanted to avoid extra-time, lost our heads a bit and got countered. Thankfully today [against Celtic], we didn't do that, we were disciplined, we said we try to get a goal, otherwise we go into extra time.
With that hurdle clear (not easily), Bayern Munich will shift its focus back to the Bundesliga where a meeting with Eintracht Frankfurt awaits.
