Kimmich reflects on emotional goal and praises Bayern's dressing-room atmosphere

Joshua Kimmich described Bayern Munich's 2-1 victory over Mainz 05 as an "Arbeitssieg", a hard-fought victory, after the final whistle. The midfielder acknowledged that his side had not produced a spectacular performance but was satisfied with the result and defensive stability. "It was a hard fought, but deserved win today, we didn't allow many chances for the opponents", Kimmich explained. He also highlighted the importance of avoiding an equaliser before half-time after Mainz had briefly thought they had found the net. The Bayern captain's opening goal carried particular emotional significance due to a personal family connection.
