Bayern Munich's Joshua Kimmich was on the receiving end of a very stern talking to from manager Pep Guardiola on Saturday as his side drew 0-0 with Borussia Dormtund.
Despite putting in a strong performance by all accounts, Kimmich was involved in a very one-sided conversation with his manager after the final whistle.

With many Manchester City fans watching the Bundesliga more intently than they normally would, a number commented on the standards that Guardiola will set when he joins the club in the summer.

Pray for Mangala...
The exchange went on for the best part of a minute, but finished with a big hug between the two. After the match, Guardiola stated that he was not giving out, but rather "when I speak with Joshua Kimmich, I only say good things. I don't want people to say he can't play in defence. I love this kid. He has absolutely everything. He wants to learn, has passion. He can do whatever he wants".
