The Champions League semi-finals were ushered in in midweek, and the first match day was Bayern's home game against Real Madrid, because Real Madrid's call to advance to the final before the game was very high, so Bayern had to win as much as possible at home in order to have a certain advantage, otherwise it would be more difficult to turn the tables at the Bernabeu. Both sides sent strong lineups in this campaign, among which Bayern Kane, Musiala, Sane, Kim Min-jae and others started, and Real Madrid's Vinicius, Bellingham, and Kroos also appeared.
The two sides were almost evenly matched on the pitch in this game, and the 2-2 result also reflected the performance of both sides. In the first half, Kroos made a straight stop, Vinicius ran a single knife, and the ball was pushed directly into the far corner without stopping. In the second half, Sane cut into the near corner, Vazquez brought down Musiala and Kane converted from the spot-kick. In the closing stages, Kim Min-jae pulled down Rodrygo in the penalty area and was awarded a penalty, and Vinicius scored twice from the penalty spot, and the two sides fought to a 2-2 draw, leaving the suspense until the second leg.
Bayern scored 2 goals in this game, which can be said to be ruined in the hands of Kim Min-jae alone. Vinicius's first goal was precisely because Kim Minjae lost his position due to a reckless grab, and Kroos pushed Kim Minjae back too late to let Vinicius score a solo goal. The final point was completely unnecessary, Rodrigo turned and flashed past Kim, who was already filling in for the position, but Kim still grabbed Rodrigo and put him down. It can be said that Bayern's two goals are the responsibility of Kim Min-jae, which is why Kim Min-jae once lost Bayern's main position, and now the Champions League battle directly beats him to the level of the Guoan period.
After the game, domestic fans have compared Kim Min-jae with the Guoan period, there were often problems such as defensive leakage in Guoan, the South Korean central defender was worth only 2 million euros during the Guoan period, and the value after joining Bayern was as high as 55 million euros, and the Champions League and Real Madrid battle, Kim Min-jae's performance directly made his value plummet by 53 million euros, returning to 2 million euros during the Guoan period. And according to this level, then Kim Minjae's central defender partner Yu Dabao in Guoan at that time can also go to Bayern's central defender.
Now if Bayern De Ligt is not injured, then the center-back combination is De Ligt and Dier, although the latter is on loan from Tottenham and is only worth 1/5 of Kim Min-jae, but Dyer's performance is much more stable than Kim's. Although the disastrous performance of this game will not completely negate Kim Min-jae, Tuchel-neng can use the combination of De Ligt + Dier, and does not need Kim Min-jae, who is more valuable, younger and has a better template, which shows that the value of the South Korean central defender is really inflated.
