Bayern drew 3-3 in the sixth round of the German Bundesliga in the 2024-2025 season against Eintracht Frankfurt at Deutsche Bank Parc in Frankfurt, Germany on the 7th (Korea time). Bayern's draw on the day has kept them in a draw for the last two consecutive league games. After the opening, he continued his unbeaten run and maintained the lead with 14 points (4 wins and 2 draws), but allowed the pursuit of second-place Leipzig (14 points). Including the European Champions League, Bayern has been somewhat sluggish with two draws and one loss in the last three games. Frankfurt came in third with four wins, one draw and one loss and 13 points.
Kim Min-jae continued to start on the same day. Dayo Upamecano and Kim Min-jae, who defended the center, scored his first goal of the season and the first goal of the day in the 15th minute of the first half. In a corner kick situation, he received a pass from Thomas Muller and shook the net with a right-footed shot. Kim Min-jae roared with joy. However, he lost three goals and couldn't laugh at his first goal of the season.
Kim Min-jae played the full time of the game on the same day, scoring a 92% pass success rate, 100% tackle success rate, one clearing, nine ball possession recoveries, and three ball competitions. There were few major mistakes. As always, the statistics media received good ratings. Footmob gave Kim a 7.6 rating. It was the highest figure among the defense, followed by Olise (8.7) and Müller (8.6) among all players. The sofa score gave Kim Min-jae a 7.4 rating. It was the fifth highest rating in the team.

Bayern Strike was a mixed game for a Korean defender. He scored Bayern's first goal with excellent judgment in the box, but struggled against Frankfurt in defense. He said he could have shown better performance in blocking all three goals.
Bild, who always showed a negative attitude toward Kim Min-jae, had no room on this day. I gave him a rating of four. Upamecano, Rafael Guerreiro, Aleksandar Pavlovic and Harry Kane all scored four points.
There was also a media outlet that praised him. RAN said 'Kim Min-jae wildly celebrated his first goal of the season. There was a problem with the defensive line, but it was strong in the air. His confidence has increased,' he said, giving him a three-point rating. TZ also explained that 'Kim Min-jae did his best against Frankfurt, but sometimes the center was open, and he lost the contest unfortunately just before the second half equalizer and tied it'
After the game, Coach Bang Sang Kompany said "Today was a great performance for the team. We got a lot of opportunities. We would have deserved more. We have to simply keep going, and we have to go our own way. We have to believe that such achievements will bring us results. We have to do it calmly," he said.

The game was a tight race. Bayern put up a 4-2-3-1 formation. Kane was at the forefront, while Serge Gnabry, Müller and Michael Olise were in the second line. Joshua Kimmich and Pavlovic formed the midfield. Alfonso Davis-Kim Min-jae-Upamecano-Guerreiro made a four-back. Manuel Neuer defended the goal.
Bayern pushed the opponent early on. Bayern, which opened with Olise's shot in the 14th minute of the first half, led with Kim Min-jae's first goal a minute later. Frankfurt immediately balanced. 22 min Askar Knauv's pass was followed by Omar Marmusch, who beat Guerreiro to finish calmly.
Bayern had a one-on-one opportunity in the box when Müller received a penetrating pass in the 30th minute of counterattack, but the shot was blocked by the goalkeeper. Gnabry's mid-range shot in the 33rd minute was also saved by Santos. Rather, Frankfurt scored a goal with a counterattack. 35 min Marmusch beats Upamecano and hands it to Hugo Wickettig. Wicketike's shot went straight into the goal. Kim Min-jae threw himself to the end, but it was not enough.

In the second half, the game continued with Bayern's lead. Kane connected a free kick from the front of the penalty box with a shot in the second minute of the second half, but it came up. Bayern succeeded in turning the tables. In the 8th minute, Olyse caught the ball that Kane let slip in the box. Olise calmly scored with a left-footed shot past the defender. Bayern continued to shake Frankfurt. Kimihi's shot in the 11th minute was saved by Santos goalkeeper. In the 18th minute, Müller caught Olise's cross and Kimmich's shot, which received Müller's pass, missed to the side of the net.
Bayern has an injury variable. Kane is down. Matisse Tell has been put in. Even after the replacement, Bayern continued to try to attack. In the 32nd minute, Comang attempted a mid-range shot at an unexpected moment. But again, Santos blew himself away and blocked it. Frankfurt fought back, but Bayern were solid.
In extra time, Upamecano collapsed and Eric Dier entered. This variable eventually led to a goal. Frankfurt scored a theater goal in extra time in the second half. As Kim Min-jae's header flowed, Marmusch scored a dramatic equalizer. The match ended in a 3-3 draw.

Forbes finally said that neither Minjae Kim nor Upamecano have shown the quality to be part of the current winning formula. In the winter transfer market, we need to recruit a new centerback that fits the system' With Upamecano currently uncertain whether he will play in the next game due to more than a hamstring, Bayern is once again at the crossroads of recruiting defenders this winter as criticism of Bayern's defense continues. Bayern sent Matthijs the Licht last summer and reorganized its defense by recruiting Hiroki Ito.
