How much did he feel the wall.
Bayern Munich beat Bayer 04 Leverkusen 3-0 in the first leg of the round of 16 of the 2024-2025 UEFA Champions League held at Fusbal Arena Munich in Munich, Germany on the 6th (Korea time). Bayern Munich, which brought powerhouse Leverkusen home, perfectly led the game and caught the tricky opponent by three goals in the first leg. With this, Bayern Munich will be able to relax in the second leg of the away match against Leverkusen.
Bayern Munich played a 4-2-3-1 formation. Harry Kane was at the forefront and Kingsley Coman, Jamal Musiala, and Michael Olise were at the second line of attack. Leon Goretzka-Jozoa Kimmich filled the midfield and Alfonso Davis-Kim Min-jae, Dayo Upamecano-Conrat Reimer set up the four-back. Manuel Neuer defended the goal.
Leverkusen also faced off with a 4-2-3-1 formation. Amin Adley was aiming to score, and Alejandro Grimaldo-Florian Birz-Jeremy Frimpong was the second in the attack. Ezequiel Palacios-Granit Xhaka was in the midfield, and Piero Incapier-Mario Hermoso-Johnathan Ta-Nordi Mukiele set up a four-back. Matzey Kovarsi wore goalie gloves.
At the beginning of the game, Kim Min-jae collapsed while blocking the opponent while the two teams were engaged in a search. In the fourth minute of the first half, Kim Min-jae's ankle was bent because he fell and put Kim Min-jae's left foot on the ground.
Kim was lying on the ground for a while, but fortunately, he got up soon. The Bayern Munich bench instructed Eric Dier and Hiroki Ito to warm up just in case. After briefly exiting the stadium, Kim returned to the stadium and resumed playing.
Kim played 89 minutes until he was substituted for Eric Dier in the 44th minute of the second half. Despite ankle injuries including four times of kickoff and three times of header clear, Kim showed off his fighting spirit.
"Did you play unstable? Not today," Bild said. "As a Korean player, he showed very good performance and made no mistake in positioning."
He has completely changed his assessment. He gave a cynical evaluation even though he showed strong performance, but gave a positive evaluation to Kim Min-jae, who showed fierce performance despite his ankle injury.
Giving Kim one point, the highest score for defense, TZ praised him, saying, "He collapsed in the beginning, but he continued his play again. Since then, he has displayed impressive performance through strong play."
Kicker gave Kim a rating of 2.5. Upamecano, the central defender partner, had a score of 3.5. The lower the German media's rating, the higher the rating is, which is why Kim got it. Notably, Kim received the second highest rating for Bayern Munich after Harry Kane.
In addition, the score was the highest among Leverkusen defenders. However, it is still doubtful whether the team scored a single point. For Leverkusen defenders who gave up a whopping three points, Jonathan Ta and Ermoso had three points, while Kim Min-jae scored 2.5 points and Upamecano 3.5 points.
The team gave a higher evaluation of Leverkusen's defense, compared with its lowest evaluation of six points to players such as Mookiee from both sides. However, it can be interpreted as a ridiculously high evaluation of Leverkusen's defenders, compared to the fact that Kim Min-jae usually gave the worst rating in a similar situation. 메이저놀이터
After being replaced in the second half, Birtz looked furious on the bench and protesting against Alonso. It was the 36th minute of the second half, but Birtz's actions were extremely emotional, although it was the coach's choice to care for the ace because they were trailing 0-3.
"Leverkusen really showed the worst performance. Birtz also showed poor performance and failed to prevent his team's defeat. He showed his frustration as he sat on the bench, crossed his arms, waved his head several times, spat on the ground and showed violent performance," Birt said. "Birtz showed the worst performance with a rating of 5.
In the end, it was the worst game in his soccer career that Kim Min-jae completely blocked. His ransom amounts to 150 million euros. Attention is focusing on whether he can make up for it in the next game after being humiliated by Kim Min-jae.
