'Monster Defender' Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich)'In conclusion' provided an excuse for additional runs.
Kim Min-jae started in the third round of the European Champions League (UCL) league phase of the 2024-2025 season against Barcelona at Camp Nou in Barcelona, Spain on the 24th (Korea time). It is the first game to be played after confessing to divorce.
In the 4-2-3-1 formation, away team Munich saw Harry Kane as the top player, with Michael Olise, Thomas Müller and Serge Nabri serving in the second term. Joshua Kimmich and João Paligna made up the double volanche, Rafael Guerreiro, Dayot Upamecano, Kim Min-jae and Alfonso Davis packed four-backs, and Manuel Neuer wore goalkeeper gloves. Jamal Musiala, who has recovered from injury, was included in the replacement list.
Barcelona pulled out a 4-2-1-3 formation. Ramin Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, and Hafinya three-top, who show off their best skills this season, have been launched. Fermin López will play a role in supporting the attack in the second line. Pedri and Marc Casado were in charge of the midfield, while Jules Kounde, Paukavarsi, Inigo Martinez and Alejandro Valde built the four backs. Iñaki Peña took over the goal. Gabi, Dani Olmo and Frenkie The Dragon await replacement.
In the first minute of the first half, Munich allowed Rafaela (Barcelona) to score a 'admission goal' As Munich coach Bang Sang-Kongfani's tactical style, the final defender raised the line beyond the half-line, and was helpless by Hafinha, who momentarily penetrated the back space. However, Munich, who was hit by an early first run, began to concentrate and eventually scored a 1-1 counterweight in the 18th minute when Harry Kane connected Serge Nabri's perfect cross with a perfect volley.

The situation happened in the 36th minute of the first half. Kim Min-jae jumped high to win an aerial ball outside the Munich-area penalty area. Barcelona midfielder Fermin López, who was behind Kim Min-jae, pushed Kim Min-jae's waist with his elbow at that moment. Kim Min-jae's header, which was shaken at the center, flowed backward.
Munich, whose final defender was taken off, faced a momentary crisis. Fermin, who caught the ball, floated the ball away from Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who ran out, and Robert Lewandowski kicked the ball into an empty goal.
Munich coach Bangsang Kongpani approached the atmosphere and protested fiercely. In an elbow-wielding gesture, he appealed 'Isn't it Fermin's pushing foul?' but it was not accepted. Broadcasting cameras showed Kim Min-jae one after another. It meant that Kim Min-jae had a big influence on Barcelona's second goal.
Munich, which was shaken rapidly, committed one more goal to Hafinha in the 45th minute of the first half, finishing the first half 1-3 behind by two goals. It's the worst start.
Kim Min-jae was helplessly beaten by Real ace Vinicius Junior in the UCL semifinals against Real Madrid in the 2023-2024 season, and was intensively saturated by the German media, including his then-team head coach Thomas Tuchel. If it ends like this, it is inevitable that it will be criticized. Will Munich be able to turn the tables in the second half.
