FA Cup Showdown: Manchester City vs. Liverpool – A Quarter-Final Clash to Remember.

There are football matches, and then there are moments that feel like chapters pulled straight from the soul of the game. The 2026 FA Cup quarter-final between Manchester City and Liverpool belonged firmly to the latter category—a spectacle layered with intensity, tactical nuance, emotional swings, and the kind of drama that reminds us why the FA Cup continues to hold a special place in football’s heart. This was not merely a contest between two elite teams; it was a collision of philosophies, identities, and legacies. It was the relentless precision of a modern machine versus the raw, emotional surge of a club built on passion and belief.

Bayern Munich seeks to reintroduce the 'old' Joshua Kimmich.

According to Bild, Bayern Munich wants the 'old' Joshua Kimmich back.


Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, Kimmich was regarded as Bayern's midfield leader and one of the club's key players.

On and off the pitch, Der Rekordmeister saw the German international as a symbol of perfection.

However, when the 29-year-old originally refused to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, he was swiftly quarantined under Julian Nagelsmann.

Then, under Thomas Tuchel, Kimmich's role at the club was further reduced, with the former Bayern Munich head coach pushing the midfielder into an unfavorable right-back position.

Nonetheless, with big changes taking place at the Allianz Arena, returning the 29-year-old to his position as a leading midfielder is one of Max Eberl's top priorities.

It is reported that the German international has spoken with Bayern's head of sport, Vincent Kompany, and the club's sporting director, Christoph Freund, all of whom agree that they want Joshua Kimmich back.

The record champions believe João Palhinha is the ideal number six, allowing Kimmich to return to his position as number eight.

This would allow Kimmich to resume his role as midfield leader, with full support from those in control in Bavaria.  

Furthermore, while negotiations for a new contract have yet to begin, there is speculation that Kimmich might be named Bayern captain if he agrees to drop his salary demands and sign a new long-term contract at the Allianz Arena.
