Bayern Munich won 1-0 in the fifth round of the European Champions League (UCL) league phase of the 2024-2025 season against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on the 27th (Korea time).
The match also drew great attention as a showdown between Kim Min-jae and Lee Kang-in, key players of the Korean national team. The two players were playing as Bayern's defensive core and PSG's offensive core, showing good performance this season, so expectations for a face-off were also high. The two players faced off in the second half due to Lee Kang-in's substitution, and the team that laughed with the victory was Bayern.
Bayern played in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Harry Kane on the front line and Leroy Sane, Jamal Musiala and Kingsley Coman on the second line. Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka worked together on the third line. The defense was built by Konrat Reimer, Dayot Upamecano, Kim Min-jae and Alfonso Davis. Manuel Neuer defended the goal.
PSG fought back with a 4-3-1-2 formation. Bradley Barcola, Usman Dembele in the two-top, and Vitinya, Fabian Lewis, João Neves and Warren Zairemeri in the midfield. The four backs consisted of Nuno Mendes, Willian Pacho, Marquignos, and Ashraf Hakimi. The goalkeeper's gloves were worn by Matvi Saponov. Lee Kang-in was listed as a substitute.

With Kim Min-jae's first goal, Bayern began to lead the game. In the 38th minute of the first half, Kim Min-jae calmly pushed the dropped ball into the header and shook the PSG net. The first half ended with Bayern's 1-0 lead.

PSG even had an exit problem. Dembele was sent off in the 11th minute of the second half due to accumulated warnings. Lee Kang-in sought an opportunity as he entered the game. Lee Kang-in stepped on the ground in the 20th minute of the second half and the Korean Derby took place.
Lee Kang-in's sharp pass threatened Bayern. Hakimi, who received Lee Kang-in's pass in the 39th minute of the second half, advanced, but the pass in the box was caught by Upamecano. Since then, PSG has continued to shake Bayern, but the score has not been scored.
In the end, Bayern won 1-0. Kim Min-jae scored his UCL debut goal in Bayern in the match to lead the team to victory.
