Bayern Munich, led by head coach Vincent Kompany, came from behind to win 3-1 in the away match of the German Bundesliga in 2024-2025 season against Stuttgart at MHP Arena in Stuttgart, Germany on the 1st (Korea time). Bayern Munich lost the first point to Angelo Stieler in the first half. However, he later scored three goals and turned the game around. With the victory, Bayern Munich recorded 19 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss (61 points). He maintained his No. 1 position with 10 undefeated matches (9 wins and 1 draw). He widened the gap with Leverkusen (50 points) in second place, which played one less game.
Kim Min-jae was at the center of the victory. He started as a center back on the day and played full time. Kim Min-jae, who continued his full-time performance in seven consecutive regular league games, recorded 87% pass success rate and 75% long pass success rate, and 100% tackle and aerial ball competition success rate, respectively. In addition, he laid the groundwork for a come-from-behind victory on the day. He scored with a header from Bayern Munich at the end of the first half when his team was losing 0-1. Kim Min-jae's ball was accurately connected to Leroy Sane. Michael Olise, who received Sane's penetration pass, calmly completed the score in a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper.

Kim Min-jae also rested from the match against Hoffenheim in January due to an Achilles injury. German media TZ reported on the 13th that Erik Dyer, who has not been properly appointed by Kompany, is expected to play against Hoffenheim on behalf of Kim Min-jae, who has a bad Achilles tendon. Bayern & German also reported Bayern Munich news 'Kim Min-jae has a problem with his Achilles tendon. I also had knee pain recently. He said he is likely to take a break to prevent potential injury complications. In fact, he did not play against Hoffenheim.
After the game, Footmob, a statistics company, gave Kim Min-jae a 7.7 rating. It was the highest score of Bayern Munich's defense and the fourth highest score of its 11 starters. However, Bavarian Football, which mainly reports on Bayern Munich, picked Dier as the best defender of the day. The Barbarian Football is not playing brilliantly, but he has unlimited trust in the centre-back position. He said, "I achieved all of this without committing a foul, including 10 clearings and 7 aerial ball bickering."
