It feels strange after the match because we lost \u2013 by one goal. We were three goals down at one point, came back and had the feeling we actually should\u2019ve equalized. Particularly at the end, Paris looked tired, they had cramps and were playing for time. We certainly felt we had a chance,\u201d said Kimmich (as captured by <a href=\"https:\/\/fcbayern.com\/en\/news\/2026\/04\/reaction-to-champions-league-semi-final-at-psg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FCBayern.com<\/a>). \u201cI honestly thought we were very good at the start, the first 15, 20 minutes. We needed to score the second goal. Then we allow Paris into the game through a mistake in build-up, and after that they got better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cIt\u2019s very annoying that we conceded from a set piece again \u2013 we mustn\u2019t allow that. However, we certainly showed a very good reaction. Okay, they had another counter and hit the bar, but overall you have the feeling there\u2019s more to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Kimmich and his mates will have to find away to at least slow down PSG\u2019s attack. Needing to go up two goals at home is not impossible, but it will not be a walk in the park either. Either way, fans cannot wait to see round two of this heavyweight battle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on <a href=\"https:\/\/shows.acast.com\/bavarian-podcast-works1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Acast<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/5kHW7eDJSF2sGA1O6gKxvB\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/bavarian-podcast-works\/id1460036325\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Apple<\/a>, or any leading podcast distributor\u2026 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Heading into Bayern Munich\u2019s 5-4 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, star midfielder Joshua Kimmich knew&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":637515,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[18635,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-637514","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-bayern-munich-champions-league","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/637514","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=637514"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/637514\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/637515"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=637514"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=637514"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=637514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
