"I know we have a lot of fans in Africa especially Ghana because of Sammy [Kuffour], they should be hopeful, we will try to win for them, the match is very important for us,” Kimmich stated on Oyerepa FM.

"I am grateful to Pep [Guardiola], he built my confidence for the champions league."

Bayern Munich have already won the Bundesliga and have reached the final of the German Cup, yet their season will not be incomplete without the European crown which has eluded them since the 2012-13 season.

Bayern Munich have a large supporting base in Ghana due to Sammy Osei Kuffour who played for the Bavarians for about a decade.
