Club united, says Kimmich

– Joshua Kimmich says Bayern Munich proved they can pull together by ending their winless streak with a 3-1 victory at Wolfsburg, the day after senior club bosses launched a ferocious attack on the German media.

Robert Lewandowski scored twice on Saturday as Bayern earned their first win in five matches, despite finishing with ten men after Arjen Robben was sent off for a second booking.

After consecutive league defeats, Bayern jumped from sixth to third in the table on Saturday, four points behind leaders Borussia Dortmund, who romped to a 4-0 victory at Stuttgart.

The win came after chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and president Uli Hoeness slammed the media for “disrespectful and disgusting” reporting.

Kimmich says the outburst showed the squad and head coach Niko Kovac that senior club bosses are behind them following sharp criticism for poor recent performances.

“It was a great sign that the club is behind the players,” said the German international.

“We have the feeling that the club has pulled together.

“It is clear that people like to talk about Bayern Munich when things don’t go so well.” –
