Kimmich would love to play with Ronaldo and Messi & names Xavi as his idol

Bayern Munich's Joshua Kimmich has admitted that Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the players he would most like to line up next to at club level, while adding that Barcelona icon Xavi was his biggest influence while growing up.

As a Champions League and Club World Cup winner with Bayern, Kimmich has a wealth of experience and can boast playing alongside the current Best FIFA Men's Player in Robert Lewandowski.

At just 26 years old, the versatile midfielder still has plenty of years left in his career and admits that sharing a locker room with a multiple Ballon d'Or-winning duo would be a welcome addition to his footballing bucket list.
