Bayern Munich has more than a few players repping their countries on the big stage at the FIFA World Cup, but some may be doing better than others.
In a recent show of statistics, captured by Squawka, Joshua Kimmich has been in spectacular creative form. The midfielder has created more big chances (four) than any other player across the opening two rounds of fixtures at the tournament.
Right behind him on the list is his Bayern teammate Michael Olise, who has created three big chances for France, proving
that the Bavarian club’s creative core is absolutely dominating on the world stage.
Kimmich is really showing his world-class playmaking ability and leadership when it matters most. By leading the entire tournament in carving open opposition defenses, he is perfectly translating his high-level club experience into driving his national team forward. Seeing both him and Olise setting the standard for creativity worldwide gives Max Eberl and Vincent Kompany plenty of reasons to smile ahead of the upcoming domestic campaign.
Are you surprised to see Kimmich out-classing everyone else at the tournament, or is this exactly what you expected from him? Let us know in the comments!
