Bayern Munich, led by Vincent Kompany, and Tottenham, led by Enze Postecoglou, are playing two Coupang Play Series games at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 3rd.
It was a clash between two teams that maintained their top performance in the European big leagues. Bayern Munich is a prestigious club that does not need an explanation. It is the strongest team that has maintained the top position for 11 consecutive seasons in the German Bundesliga. However, in the 2023-2024 season, it was only 'no relation'. Ahead of the new season, he is planning to restore his honor by taking the helm of Kompany. Tottenham ranked fifth in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2023-2024 season and won a ticket to the European match.

Bayern Munich clenched its teeth. The first goal came in the fourth minute of the first half. I didn't miss Tottenham's mistake. There was a communication mistake between Tottenham goalkeeper and defender. Vidovic shook Tottenham's net with a cool mid-range shot. At that moment, Bayern Munich fans cheered and shouted.
Tottenham did not back down easily. Son Heung-min shook the Bayern Munich defense on the left side. Son also attempted to shoot from the so-called 「Son Heung-min Zone」. Fans of both teams encouraged the players by singing unique cheering songs. There was a warm round of applause for each of the players' plays. Bayern Munich left a regret in the 43rd minute of the first half when Tel and Guerreiro's shot was blocked by the opposing goalkeeper a minute later.
