After Bayern Munich's title celebration, several team members traveled to Ibiza during their days off, leading to criticism from German football circles. Many suggested this behavior undermined competition in Bundesliga. Some feared this would affect their performance against a relegation-threatened team. However, Bayern proved their critics wrong with a convincing 4-0 victory over Hoffenheim. Captain Joshua Kimmich conveyed confusion over the criticism, asserting that adults deserved leisure time after a strenuous season, especially with upcoming international commitments looming.
I couldn't understand it at all," the Germany captain professed, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. "We have three days off, we're adults, and we can do whatever we want in our free time, as long as we give it our all in training. We did, and it showed today.
...perhaps that is why they could not wrap their head around the trip. But with the UEFA Nations League coming up for some of the internationals, such as Kimmich, and FIFA Club World Cup as well, this was perhaps one of the only times such a trip could be made.
