Kimmich is now getting the same treatment as Kroos got.

True but a bit also his own fault as he said he wants to play as 6 and he is clearly not the guy for that position. I saw the match against Stuttgart and this Pavlovic dude was absolutely amazing in the defence, if he plays behind Kimmich who needs to play as a 8 Bayern will be favourite for cl title.

Kroos to RM is an all time L by Bayern.

I don't think RM win as many CLs without Kroos. Probably 2-3 instead of 4. That's not to say he alone was responsible for 1-2 CLs, but the synergy that resulted from him + Modric would be washed away.
Huge mistake. Especially given the price and how he’s fared in comparison to how they did since his departure.

I wanted him to join Barca badly during that 2014 season and I remember Johan Cruyff saying Barca should get him too.

Kroos is interesting, unlike Modric, he has next to no athletic abilities to speak of, but seems to be a step ahead of everyone anyway.

Will be very difficult to replace.

Modric might be the greatest Croatian player, but I have to put Davor Suker and especially my favorite Zvonimir Boban in that conversation. Modric the best midfielder ever - no. Would be a great disrespect on players like Hagi, Seedorf, Rui Costa, Zidane, Laudrup, Xavi, Iniesta, Pirlo, Lothar Mattheus and many others of the past.

Happy for him. RM legend.
Amazing and unique player.
Since he arreived to RM… RM began to win the CL! 12 years at RM, 6 CL! 50%!
And in between he also led and dragged a nation like Croatia to a WC final and semi-final!
Ancelotti did well to let him play a few minutes this final.
