It was a new history of the European big league 'Korean Derby'.
Bayern Munich (Germany), which scored its debut goal in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) by Kim Min-jae (28), the national soccer team's "built-in center back," beat Paris Saint-Germain (PSG. France), where Lee Kang-in (23) plays.
Kim Min-jae started in the home game against PSG in Game 5 of the 2024-2025 UCL League Phase at Allianz Arena in Germany on the 27th (Korea time), and led Munich to a 1-0 victory by hitting a header winning shot at a set-piece opportunity in the 38th minute of the first half. The opposing goalkeeper did not punch the corner kick properly, but Kim Min-jae tactfully hit it with his head at the gate.
After debuting in the European leagues through Fenerbahce (Turkiye) in 2021, Kim became a big leaguer by moving to Italy's Serie A team Napoli. Then, he successfully joined the "Big Club" Munich last summer. Since joining the European leagues, Kim has had five goals (one Fenerbahce, two Napoli and two Munich goals) in the regular league alone. He has also scored one goal in the league this season.
He finally scored his first goal at UCL, the "stage of stars" against PSG. It was also his second goal of this season.
He also excelled in defense. He blocked the overlapping of Nunu Mendes, a flanker, in the fifth minute of the second half, and recorded seven clearings, four header clearings, and three recoveries.
PSG had a difficult game in the 11th minute of the second half as striker Usman Dembele left due to accumulated warnings, leading to numerical inferiority. He was warned while protesting the referee's decision in the first half, but he was warned again after tackling Munich Alfonso Davis too hard.
Lee Kang-in said, "PSG started the game as a substitute card for the first time. I was substituted for Warren Zairemeri at 20 minutes in the second half. A Korean derby with Kim Min-jae was successful. However, it was not easy to display Lee's talent despite his numerical inferiority. Showing off several sharp left-footed kicks, Lee posted a 92 percent pass success rate (succeeded in 12 attempts and 11 attempts), but failed to yield meaningful results.
In the end, Munich laughed with Kim Min-jae's header. After the whistle at the end of the game, Munich's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was happy to lift Kim Min-jae up. 안전놀이터
It was the first time in 13 years that Korean players faced off at the UCL after Park Ji-sung of Manchester United of England and Park Joo-ho of FC Basel of Switzerland in the 2011-2012 season.
Munich took the 11th place in the UCL League phase with nine points. PSG fell to 26th by staying at four points.
