Jonathan Tah center back 29 , Bayern Munich
There are no guarantees when a player signs for Bayern, not even for an experienced Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal winner like Tah. But the 29-year-old, after a less than satisfactory final season at Leverkusen, really looks as if he is playing in Munich for the rest of his life.

joshua kimmich Midfielder 30 , Bayern Munich
The most consistent player in the Bundesliga, and for a long time. I don’t remember any match this season where I thought Kimmich performed poorly, in fact he controlled most things from his central tactical position.

A second Austrian inclusion, and there was no way to keep Baumgartner out of the team.

Carly Simon’s old hit “Nobody Does It Better” was written for Roger Moore, the English actor who played James Bond. No one would blink if this was played to welcome Kane. In the autumn of my career, England The Captain has found the perfect team and environment for himself and his family. In Munich, you are allowed a certain amount of space which is not part of life for a footballer in London. On the pitch, Kane’s continued commitment to improving his game is admirable.
