The versatile Bayern Munich star has been likened unfavourably to the climate activist who won Time Person of the Year 2019
Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich has been branded the “Greta Thunberg of German football” by club legend Mehmet Scholl, who made the remark in unfavourable terms.
The former midfielder, who spent 15 years at the club, feels that the 24-year-old is allowed to speak his mind too freely and has too much influence in FCB due to his young age, notably criticising a lack of depth in the squad in January.
Scholl has drawn the comparison to climate activist Thunberg, who was named Time magazine’s Person of the Year for 2019, despite being only 16 years old – the youngest ever person to be given the prestigious title.
