As of now, Kimmich boasts an impressive 100 caps for the German national soccer team, making him the 14th player to hit this milestone for Germany[2][3]. And guess who he's aiming to overtake? None other than legendary player Lothar Matthäus, who boasts a whopping 150 caps, one of the highest in German football history. Kimmich, 30, is looking primed and ready to take that top spot - if he keeps it up, he could join the exclusive club of players with over 150 caps for the German national team.
You might wonder, where does Kimmich see himself excelling most? Well, Matthäus, the 64-year-old 1990 World Cup winner, agrees with him. According to Matthäus, Kimmich is world-class as a right-back and in midfield, but he shines brightest in the center. There, he dictates the rhythm of the game. As a right-back, while he excels, he's not as involved in the build-up[1].
There's been some debate about Kimmich's position, though. Some argue that Julian Nagelsmann doesn't have another player who fits Kimmich's profile for the right-back position. Yet, Matthäus acknowledges that without a convincing alternative, Kimmich is likely to remain in that spot[1].
This Wednesday, Kimmich is set to make history once again, as he's to play in the Nations League semi-final against Portugal in Munich. Here's to hoping he reaches another milestone in his already successful career[1]!
