"I read that he scored (136) goals for the national team," Kimmich told reporters. 

"Cristiano Ronaldo has crazy numbers, especially when you look at the consistency, he's been playing at a very high level for over 20 years, performing for his country. For me, 100 caps already makes me very proud."
