Bayern Munich marked Joshua Kimmich’s 500th appearance for the club with a hard-fought victory over Elversberg, who had won their opening two Bundesliga matches and arrived hoping to produce another surprise.
Kimmich reached the milestone across all competitions for Bayern Munich. During those 500 games, the Germany midfielder has scored 47 goals and provided 122 assists.
His appearance total now puts him level with Bayern Munich legend Bastian Schweinsteiger, although Kimmich is expected to move ahead of him soon.
That could happen as early as the next Bundesliga round, when Bayern Munich face Union Berlin.
