Kimmich’s 500th Appearance as Bayern Edge Elversberg 2-1

The milestone highlights Kimmich’s sustained influence while Bayern balances rotation, a young player’s apology for a provocative celebration, and the measured return of an injured attacker.

SV Elversberg v FC Bayern München - Bundesliga 2026/27

Overview

  • Bayern beat newly promoted SV Elversberg 2-1 with goals from 18-year-old Lennart Karl and Harry Kane in a match that tested the visitors’ depth.
  • Joshua Kimmich came on as a 65th-minute substitute to record his 500th competitive appearance for Bayern, a mark that puts him level with Bastian Schweinsteiger and places him among the club’s longest-serving players.
  • Lennart Karl apologised after the match for a goal celebration that drew boos from Elversberg fans and said he did not intend to offend supporters.
  • Serge Gnabry was included in the matchday squad for the first time since suffering an adductor injury five months ago but did not play as the club continued his gradual comeback.
  • Coach Vincent Kompany is managing heavy rotation to protect player fitness and integrate younger signings while Bayern shifts focus to upcoming fixtures and the early-season run of results.
