Con la mirada al cielo, Kimmich abrió el marcador y dedicó el tanto a su padre fallecido, impulsando al Bayern a una 2-1 contra Mainz en la jornada 9. Para mí, ese gesto eleva la moral del equipo.

When Kimmich put Bayern in front in the 14th minute at the MEWA Arena, it soon became clear that it would be no normal celebration. After jumping into the air, he stretched his finger towards the sky in memory of his father, who passed away last month. «I don’t score many goals,» he said after the match. «After this one, I obviously immediately thought of him, so I was definitely more emotional than I otherwise would have been.»
After missing three games to grieve his loss, Kimmich returned to the side in the 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker. He barely missed a beat, taking his place once more as the team’s tempo-setter, and also performed well in the UEFA Champions League win over Atlético Madrid.
