"It's funny because I didn't even celebrate to mess with him, it was more with Leo and I ended up celebrating with him. It was fate that put me close to [Kimmich].

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Paris Saint Germain are through to the semi-final of the Champions League after knocking out holders Bayern Munich on away goals.
Bayern were 1-0 winners on Tuesday night at the Parc des Princes, but Eric Maxim Choupo Moting’s goal was not enough as they crashed out on away goals (3-3 on aggregate).
The Bavarians’ boss Hansi Flick was wary of the fact that his side needed to be more clinical after falling short of a victory in the reverse fixture, despite having 31 attempts at goal.
