Bayern Munich got whacked 3-0 by Feyenoord in the Champions League, a team with no fit midfielders whose last match was a 1-1 draw with Willem II who sits 12th in the Eredivisie. This is a huge indictment on the players, and Joshua Kimmich knows that.

“We have to admit that we are NOT a top team at the moment,” the 29-year-old began (DAZN as captured by Florian Plettenberg | @Plettigoal). “But the group is sticking together. That gives me hope. In the Champions League, we are in a very bad position, one that we brought upon ourselves. We are making too many mistakes and being punished for them harshly. The feeling after this clear defeat is very negative. But we must not, under any circumstances, doubt ourselves or the group.”

Kimmich lamented the plethora of wasted chances and his team’s sloppiness. “Once again we created many chances and were wasteful,” he said (via @iMiaSanMia). “We also made it too easy for the opponent. We allowed them too much, that already was the case against Wolfsburg. In the Champions League you get punished for that. Overall we didn’t deserve to win today. We made too many simple mistakes. Now we shouldn’t complain and should work on correcting these mistakes.”

Bayern are 15th in the Champions League, below a Borussia Dortmund side fresh off a 2-1 loss to Bologna and Nuri Şahin’s dismissal. While the Bavarians did secure play-offs or mathematically incapable of dropping below 24th place, it’ll still be a tough ask to get into the top eight teams, or even staying in 9th to 16th.
