FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich face each other this Wednesday, October 23, in a match full of special feelings. Hansi Flick, the coach of the Blaugrana team, will be reunited with the team he managed several years ago and which catapulted him to the elite by winning all possible titles that season, while players like Robert Lewandowski and Joshua Kimmich, who has been on the Barça radar for several summers ago, will also face the duel with an important emotional burden.
Precisely, the latter has spoken about the Champions League match months after his name resonated loudly in the corridors of the Spotify Camp Nou. The footballer ends his contract with the Bavarians on June 30 and the Catalans tried to sign him, although he finally decided to stay at the Allianz Arena. However, in statements to 'Bild', the German assured that it will be a special match for him.
"Playing against Barça is always something special, then against Hansi, of course, the reunion will also be very special"
Who does Kimmich prefer between Lewandowski and Kane?
Similarly, Kimmich also spoke about the goalscoring duel between Robert Lewandowski and Harry Kane, stating that "they are two players who cannot be directly compared. Harry is someone who likes to get more involved in the game and who can sometimes give a great pass. Lewy is more focused on scoring goals himself. Both help their team a lot with their style."
Thus, it is clear that Joshua is preparing to face a match with a special flavour for him. The player could be playing his last season in Bavaria, and although everything indicates that he will renew his contract with the club, at the moment the negotiations are on hold and his future remains open. A scenario that is surely being followed at Can Barça, where they could return to the charge for one of the club's old desires next summer.
