Bayern led the game, but Villa took the opportunity first. Upamecano cleared the penetration pass to Watkits in the 14th minute of the first half. Torres' shot shook Bayern's net in the 22nd minute of the first half. However, the offside was declared through VAR reading and was not recognized as a score. Bayern's attack rarely broke through the villa. After Gnabry's breakthrough in the 28th minute of the first half, the shot went over the net. Kane, who was hoping for a pass in the center, lamented. Olise's left-footed mid-range shot was also aimed at Villa's goal, but he knelt down due to Martinez's save. The first half ended 0-0.
The two teams were also fierce in the second half. Bayern drove the attack. In the 10th minute of the second half, Olise's volley shot, which he attempted by receiving the ball from the center of the box, bounced off the defense. Then Olise, who caught the ball again, tried to shoot again, but even that ball hit Torres' body and failed to head to the goal. In the 16th minute of the second half, Gnabry's shot after breaking into the box from the left went straight to Martinez. Kim Min-jae's good defense also came out. In the 30th minute of the second half, Kim Min-jae won the ball with a strong contest even before his opponent crossed the half line. It was a stable defense that came out even before all Bayern players moved into the defensive area.
However, Villa scored the first goal. Neuer's absurd mistake became an error. In the 34th minute of the second half, Neuer suddenly advanced too far from the goal in Villa's attack. After confirming this, John Duran attempted a long-range shot as soon as he caught the ball, and the ball passed Neuer's key and shook the Bayern net. Considering that Bayern's defense has firmly defended the goal, it was such a vain loss. Bayern then tried to make up for it, but in the end, the game ended with a 1-0 win for Bilan.

Kim Min-jae played 86 minutes of the game, recording a 96% pass success rate, three clearings, two ball ownership recoveries, and 100% successful ball competition.

Germany's Avent Zeitung gave Kim Min-jae a three-point rating and defended him stably and confidently even in mid-range shots. Blocked all dangerous deployments through header capabilities. It was more stable than Upamecano. Germany's Fusbal Transfer also gave Kim Min-jae 2.5 points, the highest rating in the team.
However, shocking criticism has emerged against Kim Min-jae. It was Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher and Manchester City legend Micah Richards who pointed out Kim Min-jae.

The two are CBS Sports football experts, and they analyzed the situation of the game after the match between Bayern and Villa. Carragher added: "Bayern centre-backs are also responsible for the winning goal"The score came after the set-piece situation. In a situation where the opposing team had to fight back, the two players did not run in the back space and played crossing. In the end Upamecano had to run to the further side, he was in the wrong position as the ball went to Duran, and there was no turning back," he said, pointing out the disappointment of the defenders' positions.
Among them, Richaz pointed out Kim Min-jae's problems more strongly. "Kim Min-jae didn't know where the ball was even though he was going back to his position," Richaz said. He couldn't see the ball, and a defender should have checked the position of the ball while returning to his seat. This happens only to 10-year-old players, and I lost money because of this." He criticized Kim for making a mistake that would not come out even at the youth level.

However, it is difficult to attribute the loss solely to Kim Min-jae and Upamecano's mistakes, especially Kim Min-jae's positioning mistakes. Already in counterattacks, the two players were trying to defend their best, and the most decisive excuse for the loss was Neuer's position, which was too far ahead. Had Neuer been positioned a little further back, there could have been more defensive opportunities, and Duran's mid-range shot could have been saved.
This is not the first such forced criticism of Kim Min-jae. Earlier this season, Bayern legend Lothar Matheus "Kim Min-jae is not at Bayern level."It will be difficult to show who you were during your Napoli days. He also criticized Bayern for being a destabilizing factor.
In order to continue to overcome forced criticism, Kim Min-jae's performance is inevitably important. Kim Min-jae is expected to play in an away game in Eintracht Frankfurt on the 7th to make up for the disappointing loss against Villa.
