Bayern Munich will face Borussia Dortmund at the Allianz Arena on Matchday 7 of the 2025/26 Bundesliga season. Bayern Munich defender Joshua Kimmich said Kane is a player who wants to see his teammates shine, praising the striker's primary goal in playing for the team.

In the last round of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich defeated Frankfurt 3-0 thanks to goals from Diaz and Kane. After six consecutive wins, Bayern Munich currently ranks first in the standings with 18 points.

As for Dortmund, Niko Kovac's team ranks second in the standings with 14 points. They have achieved 4 wins and 1 draw in the last 5 rounds and remain unbeaten.

"I think Dortmund's defense is very solid," said Kimmich, 30. "They have fast players like Adeyemi and Bayer up front, and Guirassi is a very capable striker."

"We have to be cautious. This game is our chance to send a strong signal and widen the points gap. That's our goal."

When asked if Bayern Munich striker Kane has a chance to win the Ballon d'Or in the future, Kimmich said: "Our goal is to achieve results as a team so that Kane has the opportunity to win an individual award. But overall, when Kane is on the court, I don't feel that he is playing for personal honors at all. He is a very complete player and the starting point of playing football is always for the success of the team."

"I've never seen him unhappy because we won 3-0 but he didn't score. He's a player who wants his teammates to shine. That combination of qualities makes him very special and extremely valuable to us."

On the other hand, Dortmund coach Niko Kovac said about Kimmich, "I have only positive things to say about Kimmich. He gives his all every second, whether in training or in the games. He is a leader and has been like this since he was young, when he was able to play alongside top players."

"His only problem is that he can play in too many positions. He performs very well wherever he is used and he is the kind of player every manager wants to have. For me, he is the best midfielder and the best right-back in Germany."
