Kimmich 2025/26: control and a season built on passes

Joshua Kimmich’s seasonal numbers are a comfort blanket for coaches. The Bayern Munich midfielder has played 47 matches across all competitions in 2025/26 and posted an average Sofascore Rating of 7.65. His profile remains the same formula fans know well: elite passing volume, tidy accuracy, and relentless movement between the lines. All data below is sourced from Sofascore.
Consistency you can measure
Kimmich’s Ratings distribution tells a steady story. He logged 26 matches in the 7.0–7.9 range, 13 in the 8.0–8.9 range, and one in the 9.0–9.9 bracket. There were no sub‑6.0 displays, and no perfect 10 this season, which still speaks to a remarkably high floor. That level of repeatable output is why he keeps Bayern’s midfield stable week after week.

Passing that sets Bayern’s tempo
Across all competitions he averages 81.30 accurate passes per game at 91% accuracy. On the detailed season dashboard he sits at 84.3 accurate passes with 92% completion, underlining the same theme from a different lens. He adds 2.0 key passes per game and has created 14 big chances, with an expected assists tally of 9.36. Long distribution remains a weapon too, with 5.5 accurate long balls per game at 71% and 4.9 accurate chip passes at 62%.
Work rate and defending
The season heatmap is bright through the right half‑space and deep central zones, exactly where Bayern build play. Per 90 minutes he covers 12.4 km, records 7.3 sprints and has hit a top speed of 31.2 km/h. Off the ball he averages 4.2 balls recovered, 1.1 tackles and 0.8 interceptions per game, while winning 59% of his total duels. He has appeared in the Sofascore Team of the Week once in league play and is rarely dribbled past more than once per game.
Attacking and chance creation
Kimmich’s job is control first, but the end product is still there. He has 2 goals and 6 assists so far, backed by 2.41 xG and 9.36 xA. He takes one shot per game, with 0.4 on target, and most of his attempts arrive from the edge of the box or late runs to the area. The result is a midfielder who dictates rhythm, progresses play and still finds time to unlock defenses.
This is the version of Kimmich Bayern rely on. If you enjoy tracking form, splits and in‑match momentum, his match pages on Sofascore are a masterclass in control through numbers.
