Joshua Kimmich highlights that Bayern Munich's struggles in capturing trophies, particularly in the DFB-Pokal and Champions League, can largely be attributed to frequent injuries to key players. He notes that missing three or four starters during critical seasons has been painful for the team. Kimmich also emphasizes issues in game management and experience as contributing factors to their recent eliminations, suggesting a combination of factors has hindered their performance. As the team looks ahead, the hope is for better management in the upcoming season, or perhaps a need to reassess their injury protocol entirely.
I see the many injuries as a main cause. We were often missing three or four starters in the decisive phase of the season, and that was painful.
We were rightfully eliminated against Manchester City in 2023, but otherwise, it was rarely truly deserved. We weren't bad against Inter either, but we haven't been able to turn those games in our favor often enough.
Injuries are part of the game, but how Bayern Munich manages injuries has also been called into question in recent years.
If not, just cover the squad in bubble wrap and hope the best in 2026/27!
