Joshua Kimmich makes surprise Liverpool revelation... Bayern Munich seem to be scared

The Reds scraped through the group stages after a cagey 1-0 win over Napoli on match day six.

Bayern Munich topped their group ahead of Ajax but despite that, Joshua Kimmich believes the Bundesliga giants are underdogs.

"Liverpool are the favourites," the right-back told The Telegraph.

"They have lost one league game all season and have let in only 15 goals.

"But when you look at us, we are not as consistent as before."

Bayern are struggling this season and are currently sitting two points behind Borussia Dortmund in the league having played a game more.

But despite that, Kimmich is looking at the positives for Niko Kovac's side.

"Now, it's a bit different. It's a chance to develop, to find new ways to success," he added.

"We are close to Dortmund, in the quarter-finals of the DFB-Pokal, and still in the Champions League.

"So, not everything's bad. But we need to improve our style of playing before we can compare to the best teams in Europe."

Jurgen Klopp has been a target for the Bavarians in the past and he now looks set to stay at Anfield for the long-term.

And Kimmich can't help but admit he's in awe of his compatriot and the way he's got his Liverpool side playing.

"It's amazing, the emotion he has, on the field, with the fans," he said.

"You can see how he pushes his players to another level. Every player is better with this coach."

The 24-year-old is the only player alongside Lionel Messi and Eden Hazard to register ten assists in Europe's top five leagues this season.

Pep Guardiola has to take major credit for the full-back's development.

Kimmich paid testament to the Manchester City boss and the impact he's had on his career.

"When I came to Bayern, I was a second-division player," he continued.

"For me, it was a new world. The coach showed me a lot, showed me the spaces on the pitch. I improved just from training.

"He was amazing. Soon, I was a national player, competing in the European Championship. He changed me. He inspired me."
