Joshua Kimmich has wished Kai Havertz good luck for the Champions League final. The Germany captain wants his international colleague to lift the trophy with Arsenal tonight.
Bayern Munich will not feature in the Budapest showpiece this season. However, German fans can still support one of their own. Arsenal striker Havertz will lead the attack against Paris Saint-Germain in the clash.
“I am keeping my fingers crossed for Kai,” said Kimmich. He hopes the forward returns to the national squad full of confidence. The 31-year-old believes that winning creates positive energy for the group.
Havertz has not yet joined the Germany camp for the next international break. The 2026 World Cup qualifiers are approaching fast. Kimmich thinks a Champions League title would boost team morale significantly.
The Bayern Munich star praised Havertz’s performances at Euro 2024. He called the Arsenal man “underrated” in their home country. Kimmich values the striker’s complete skill set on the pitch.
Havertz knows how to win this competition. He scored the winning goal for Chelsea against Manchester City in the 2021 final. That strike secured a 1-0 victory in Porto.
Now the 25-year-old aims to repeat that success in Hungary. A second medal would mark a huge personal achievement for the former Chelsea forward.
