Kimmich: I am very happy to be ranked first in the Champions League standings temporarily, and we must do our best to avoid participating in the play-offs

Hupu October 1st: In the second round of the Champions League, Bayern Munich defeated Cyprus's team Paphos 5-1 at home. After the game, Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich talked about the team's performance in this game.

Kimmich said: "Overall, we're 5-1 against Paphos - of course, we know we're the favorites to win this game. But, in terms of performance, everything is what it should be. I think we did very well in the first half, but by the second half, it wasn't that urgent, especially after the break. Nevertheless, I think Paphos would get a point or two at home. Even if they didn't look like this in the first half, they would make their opponents uncomfortable, I Think they won't stop at a certain point."

Kimmich continued: "It's still early in the season, but we're at the top of the standings - at least for now, and that's due to such performance and goal difference. Our goal is clear: we want to avoid the playoffs, unlike last season. Of course, you've seen that you can win the championship in the playoffs as well - Paris proved that. But it's better if you can avoid that, otherwise you might directly meet top opponents."
