"Well, in a collaboration between 433 and the Bundesliga, Kimmich was asked to pick an Ultimate Bundesliga XI. His choices are... headscratchers, to say the least. In case you can't see the tweet (or refuse to use Musk's terrible platform), here is who he picked: Goalkeeper - Manuel Neuer Defense - Philipp Lahm, Dayot Upamecano, Franz Beckenbauer, David Alaba Midfield - Toni Kroos, Xabi Alonso, Florian Wirtz Attack - Kingsley Coman, Jamal Musiala, Franck Ribéry"
"No one is going to argue against Franz Beckenbauer. He is inarguably the greatest ever defender to play the game and one of the best players in the world of his era. The same cannot be said for Dayot Upamecano. To be fair, the Frenchman is a key part of this current Bayern Munich team and is a well-rounded, modern center-back. However, he faces stiff competition from other league stalwarts, like Mats Hummels for example (who also played with Kimmich at Bayern)."
Joshua Kimmich named an Ultimate Bundesliga XI that mixes established legends and current Bayern teammates. The chosen XI lists Manuel Neuer in goal, a defense of Philipp Lahm, Dayot Upamecano, Franz Beckenbauer and David Alaba, a midfield of Toni Kroos, Xabi Alonso and Florian Wirtz, and an attack of Kingsley Coman, Jamal Musiala and Franck Ribéry. Several selections reflect familiarity with Bayern teammates. Some picks earn clear support (Neuer, Lahm, Beckenbauer). Other choices draw skepticism due to competition from longstanding league figures such as Mats Hummels and alternative Bayern options like Alphonso Davies or Paul Breitner.
