Not that Elyounoussi: Bayern's Kimmich puzzled by Morrocan-born cousins

Munich's star was asked whether he knows any of Copenhagen's players ahead of their goalless draw at Allianz Arena, and he thought he knew one. Wrong. That was a cousin of his
Even that top-shelf football can sometimes be quite funny and bring some hilarious moments along with the inevitable and neverending tension.
Just look at Bayern Munich's star Joshua Kimmich and his puzzle with Elyounoussis.
Let us explain to you what happened during midweek...
Before the Bavarians' recent Champions League clash against Copenhagen in Denmark, Kimmich was asked whether he knew any of the rival's players. He said he knows Elyounoussi because he played in the Bundesliga. But that was Tarik Elyounoussi, cousin of FC Copenhagen's Mohamed Elyounoussi. The latter went to Kimmich after the final whistle on Wednesday night, after their return leg, and told him the truth...
"He (Kimmich) actually meant my cousin Tarik, who once played at Hoffenheim. I told him that he had given a nice compliment but to my cousin. He said: 'Oh, that wasn't you?' And he said that we look very similar - I have to be fair and say that's true".
And you'll see that very moment right here... Funny, indeed.
Sjov detalje lige efter slutfløjt!

Kimmich sagde før kampen i Parken, at han kender Elyounoussi fra Bundesligaen, men det er kun fætter Tarik Elyounoussi, der har spillet der 😂#fcklive #fcbfck pic.twitter.com/faP6IDaPJH
