Yes, Germany U23 (with Kimmich as an over-age player?) lost to Paraguay in the quarter-finals of the Olympics via penalties. I will use this context generally regarding his versatility and captaincy without getting bogged down in specific match reporting unless it illustrates his position.*) * **Format:** Concise, factual, SEO-friendly HTML.
