Bayern Munich could not finish its dinner and allowed Borussia Dortmund to avoid defeat in Der Klassiker. The game finished in a 2–2 draw, with Konrad Laimer and Dayot Upamecano scoring for the Bavarians—a result that Bayern captain Joshua Kimmich believes was “unnecessary.”
“I think this was our third draw, and today’s result was obviously very unnecessary,” Kimmich said (as captured by X account @iMiaSanMia). “Especially considering how the second half unfolded, I don’t think a draw was a fair reflection
of the game. But that’s football sometimes. Dortmund never gave up and kept fighting until the very end. Ultimately, we have to accept the point, even though we obviously should have won.”
The result is far from ideal for Kimmich and Bayern, but they will look to pick up the pieces against Atlético Madrid in the Champions League and Mainz in the Bundesliga next weekend. Oh, and they will attempt to do so with a squad riddled with injuries.
