In order to secure a spot in the UEFA Champions League final, Real Madrid accomplished a decisive win against Bayern Munich, so securing their spot in the tournament.
The Merengues demonstrated their unbreakable willpower in order to accomplish a comeback, although the game was marred by a fairly significant amount of controversy due to the fact that one of Bayern Munich’s goals was disallowed.
According to Carlo Ancelotti, the coach, in reaction to such complaints, Kimmich was brought in.Kimmich allegedly “dove” in a fight with Nacho, which led to the disallowance of a goal scored by Real Madrid, according to Ancelotti.
The distance between Kimmich and Real Madrid
In point of fact, according to Mundo Deportivo, the statements made by Ancelotti might have an effect on any possible transfer of Kimmich to Real Madrid.
Considering that the Bayern Munich midfielder was about to reach the last year of his contract and that Toni Kroos had not yet disclosed whether or not he would continue to play in the Spanish capital, Kimmich was regarded a potential successor.
On the other hand, it seems that this plan has been derailed by recent occurrences, which brings him closer to Barcelona, who is interested in obtaining Kimmich, assuming that their financial situation allows them to make such a deal.
Ancelotti’s public criticism of his former player Kimmich might likely discourage the 29-year-old midfielder from making a transfer to Madrid. In the past, the midfielder had even praised both Real Madrid and Barcelona as desirable destinations.
Kimmich and Ancelotti not on the best of terms
Due to the fact that the two have a history that is rather tumultuous, it is important to point out that the most recent episode may be seen as the last straw that causes them to part ways.
The only time Kimmich ever pondered quitting Bayern was during the 2016–17 season, when Ancelotti was the coach, since he was getting less playing time. Kimmich disclosed this information in an interview that took place in 2022.
Furthermore, Kimmich said on another occasion that his connection with Ancelotti was not perfect due to the fact that Bayern had a very powerful midfield lineup that included players such as Arturo Vidal, Xabi Alonso, Thiago, and Javi Martinez.
