The big game at Manchester City is coming up for FC Bayern.

Didi Hamann thinks there is a risk behind Joshua Kimmich's excessive emotions.

Munich/Manchester – When FC Bayern's social media department announced the squad for Munich's quarter-final first leg in the Champions League at Manchester City (Tuesday, 9 p.m., here in the live ticker), the employees chose the background photo a highly focused looking Joshua Kimmich.

FC Bayern: Joshua Kimmich polarized in Freiburg

As if it had to be emphasized what every well-informed supporter knows anyway: Kimmich is THE aggressive leader of the German Bundesliga record champion par excellence.

One who went a bit too far in the 1-0 (0-0) in Freiburg last Saturday (April 8), as the Swabian himself admitted after the game in Badnerland.

Is Kimmich's unsportsmanlike fan provocation in Freiburg now taking revenge on his entire team?

At least this is the theory put forward by Sky expert Dietmar “Didi” Hamann.

And that just before the Champions League showdown at the Citizens.

Hamann warns Bayern of Kimmich revenge: "You challenge fate"

“Young fans are watching.

Joshua Kimmich has been there for so long," said Hamann.

Bayern's cup defeat against the sports club (1: 2) last week "doesn't give him the right to provoke the Freiburg fans.

That is unnecessary.

i believe in karma

At some point everything will come back," said the former international on Sky: "You challenge fate.

They have City in front of them, it's tight in the league.

Simply unnecessary.”

After the narrow Bundesliga victory at the weekend, Kimmich stood in front of the Freiburg "fan curve" (which is actually a straight line) and screamed at the top of his voice with clenched fists.

The 28-year-old midfield strategist raised his fist in the direction of the SC fans several times, whereupon the Freiburg players Lucas Höler and Vincenzo Grifo stormed him and confronted him on the pitch.

Joshua Kimmich: Bayern star justifies fan provocation in Freiburg

His emotions were "perhaps a bit over the top," said Kimmich in the Freiburg Arena when asked by Munich's 

tz

: "It was a bit due to what happened before the game when we went onto the pitch.

When we did the field inspection, the stadium announcer shouted in our direction: 'Yes, 2-1 win on Tuesday in the quarter-finals.'”

In addition, the people of Breisgau showed a ten-minute film on the scoreboards about the DFB Cup quarter-finals during the warm-up, “or how we got kicked out of there.

Of course that goes deep.

Of course it hurts," explained the Bayern star: "In the end, I let myself be carried away."

 That is unnecessary.

i believe in karma

Eventually everything will come back.

You tempt fate.

Joshua Kimmich's emotions: risk factor for Bayern in Manchester?

The Freiburg coach had also recognized that.

Christian Streich said on Sky about the Munich player's action: "Obviously he was under enormous mental pressure.

That had to do with the fact that we beat Bayern last Tuesday, which nobody expected.” Can Kimmich now better channel the high pressure, as the

Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ)

called it, in Manchester?

Is it rather a barometer for pressure within the Munich team, as the

SZ

further analyzed?

And is Kimmich even a risk on the pitch precisely because of his emotions?

There are answers to these questions on Tuesday evening in England.
