Bayern Munich defender Joshua Kimmich was unrepentant after his stamp on Jadon Sancho during the German Super Cup on Saturday.

Full-back Kimmich appeared to lash out in frustration at the 19-year-old England starlet, during Bayern’s 2-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund at the Westfalenstadion.

Whizkid Sancho had scored one and made another to put Lucien Favre’s men ahead of the reigning Bundesliga champions in the season opener.

But six minutes after Sancho fired through Manuel Neuer’s legs, an incident on the touchline left him on the deck.

Heading to retrieve the ball after it ran out of play, Kimmich appeared to stamp on the ankle of Sancho.

Naughty from Kimmich

Kimmich was booked by the match official after VAR checks - despite it appearing worthy of a red.

However, the 24-year-old was upset to even see yellow, and was still talking about the incident post-game.

Kimmich remains unrepentant

"It was an unfortunate situation," Kimmich told DAZN. "I wanted to get the ball and he put his foot in.

"But I did not kick him and I was angry that I was given a yellow card, because that was not my intention.”

Asked what he would have done if he had been dismissed, Kimmich responded: "If I had seen red, then I would have romped”.

Bayern boss Niko Kovac defended the German international, stating: "Joshua did not do this on purpose”.

A bad night for Kimmich and Bayern

Sancho’s display has led to more headlines for the England international, who turned around a poor first-half display with two decisive second half acts to hand BVB a sixth German Super Cup.

Dortmund skipper Marco Reus - awarded the German Footballer of the Year award pre-game - was not shocked to see the ex-Man City and Watford youngster make the difference.

"When Jadon approaches you in one-on-one, it's brutally difficult (for the defender),” exclaimed Reus.

Kovac saw his side dominate much of the match, but fail to take their chances.

Post-game he said: "Of course, we're sad we lost the match today. I think we turned in a decent display, not a very good one, but decent.

"We were dominant, we made two mistakes Dortmund capitalised on. We failed to take our chances, which is why we lost the match.

"We're in the fourth week of pre-season. It was the first match where everyone played 90 minutes, you can't expect more in this situation. I'm not dissatisfied, of course it wasn't an outstanding performance.

"We must take our chances and not play into Dortmund's hands, losing the ball and allowing counters."
