Mar 01, 2025

There is a reason for the ransom of €110,000,000 (about KRW 166.8 billion).

'Iron Column' Kim Min-jae (29, Bayern Munich) played the role of the guardian of the team's victory with his outstanding skills. With as many as 15 effective clearingings, including the clearing that triggered the equalizer, Munich's last shot was kept like an iron fortress. Munich, led by Kim Min-jae's performance, added three points to keep its lead in the league.

Kim Min-jae started as a center back in the 24th round of the 2024-2025 German Bundesliga away game against Stuttgart at MHP Arena in Stuttgart, Germany, at 4:30 a.m. on the 1st (Korea time), helping his team win 3-1. Munich won its 19th win (four draws and one loss) of the season, widening the point gap with second-ranked Bayer 04 Leverkusen (50 points) to 11 points.

Kim Min-jae was uncertain to start the day due to the recent decline in performance due to Achilles tendon pain. On the eve of the game, German soccer media Kicker also excluded Kim Min-jae from Munich's expected starting lineup. He expected to start on the bench.

However, director Bang Sang Kompany still firmly believed in Kim Min-jae. Kim Min-jae took the center stage of the four-back defense in the 4-2-3-1 formation. Alfonso Davis-Kim Min-jae-Eric Dyer-Conrat Reimer formed a four-back in front of Manuel Neuer keeper. Goretzka and João Paligna were deployed in front of him, and Leroy Sane-Jamal Musiala-Michael Olise was in charge of the second-line attack. Harry Kane was the front-runner.

Kim Min-jae's true value shone from the beginning. Stuttgart came out tough against league leaders Munich. Stuttgart, ranked seventh in the league, was in desperate need of victory. Adding three points allowed him to try to reach the top five.

However, Stuttgart's strategy was blocked by a wall called Kim Min-jae. He showed excellent aerial ball competition and positional selection to block passes, and played an active role in preventing Stuttgart's wave offensive in the beginning.
