Joshua Kimmich and his colleagues were greeted by confetti and balloons when they returned to the team hotel after their 2-0 victory over Al Ahly. The staff wanted to congratulate FC Bayern on advancing to the FIFA Club World Cup final but also Kimmich, who turned 26 on Monday.
Kimmich present everywhere
Kimmich gave it everything in the semi-final against Al Ahly.

Kimmich has rewarded himself with a special birthday present, because on Thursday he will play for Bayern against Tigres UANL for the Club World Cup trophy. FCB fans can be sure of one thing: Kimmich will once again give his all to ensure that the gold confetti falls down on the Munich team after this match.
