Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich is often in the crosshairs of fans.
Some argue that Kimmich does not handle an aggressive press well enough to be a top flight midfielder, while others think that he might hold too much political power within the club.

Kimmich’s role at Bayern Munich has evolved over the years, but no matter what position he plays, the 31-year-old has always been a vital part of the team and what it wants to do offensively.
