Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich has been lauded for his instinctive finish that gave his side the 1-0 victory against Borussia Dortmund in Tuesday's Der Klassiker.
Social media praised Kimmich's deftness in executing the shot, it also questioned the Swiss goalkeeper's handling and part played in conceding the goal.
One Twitter user wrote: 'Would always prefer to talk about the goal instead of the goalkeepers's mistake in this situation.
'Kimmich had literally a second between when he got the ball and his chip and he still had the vision and technique to come up with it. That's brilliant instinct from a class player.'
Another user preferred to compare Kimmich to an Italian goalscoring legend, saying: 'Joshua Kimmich, clearly unsatisfied with being an excellent right back and dominant right back, begins his journey to become the German Francesco Totti. Unbelievable.'
There was also admiration from Premier League players past and present, with West Ham midfielder Declan Rice tweeting: 'Love Kimmich, top top player' followed by three applause emojis.
Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker was also impressed by Kimmich's excellent touch, stating: 'Decent high quality football with a superbly deft finish from the brilliant Joshua Kimmich giving Bayern Munich the lead.
'Keeper won't be happy with his effort though. At least he won't get any stick from behind the goal.'
