'Completely incomprehensible' - Joshua Kimmich sends out furious message to Harry Kane and Bayern stars after Dortmund defeat leaves title hopes in tatters

The Bavarians look set to be knocked off their perch at the end of the campaign after they succumbed to a 2-0 defeat to eternal rivals Dortmund on Saturday evening. Goals from Karim Adeyemii and Julian Ryerson sealed the three points for the visitors as Kane missed two golden opportunities to draw ire from the Bayern faithful.

Kimmich was fuming after the derby defeat and slammed his teammates for a half-baked second half performance. He warned that they could end up empty-handed at the end of the campaign if they fail to improve for a clash with Arsenal in the Champions League after their Bundesliga championship hopes went up in smoke.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, Kimmich said: "I wonder how we could perform like that in a game like this. It's completely inexplicable to me, it's completely incomprehensible. In the second half you had the feeling that nothing was at stake. It was like a friendly.

"We players should go home and question ourselves. It doesn't matter who is in the team. It will be difficult next week against Heidenheim and of course in the Champions League."

Bayern will be back in action against Heidenheim on April 6 in what will be a chance to bounce back before taking on Mikel Arteta's Arsenal in the Champions League three days later.
