Bayern drew 2-2 at home to Real Madrid, leaving the suspense of promotion until the second leg. South Korean centre-back Kim Min-jae started the game, but his performance was a disaster, and the two goals conceded were all related to him. Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel was criticised for his performance after the game.
Tuchel said of Kim: "He was too 'greedy' both times. The first goal he conceded, he took the first step prematurely in defense of Vinicius, he was seized by Kroos's pass, his guess was too rash, the second goal was lost, unfortunately he made another mistake, we were 5-2 at the time, there was a numerical advantage, there was no need to defend Rodrygo so aggressively. Just as Dale was about to come over to help the defense, Kim Min-jae brought Rodrigo down, and such a mistake was also punished. This has happened, and we have to move on. ”
Unlike Tuchel, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer defended his team-mates: "We talked in the dressing room and you make mistakes, it's part of football and it doesn't mean he's going to play badly for the rest of the game. It wasn't all bad for him today, he was good for some moments but didn't make the right decisions at some crucial moments, as happens in football. ”
In the whole game, Kim Min-jae won only 1 duet, 3 interceptions, and the first goal conceded was directly related to him, while giving away the penalty that led to the equaliser.
