‘Kim Min-jae comes on as a substitute’ Munich loses 1-2 to Real… Failure to advance to finals – Dong-A Ilbo VRESP

Bayern Munich (Germany) defender Kim Min-jae appeared as a substitute in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals, but was unable to prevent the team from losing.

Bayern Munich lost 1-2 to Real Madrid (Spain) in the second leg of the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League semifinals held at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, Spain, on the 9th (Korean time).

As a result, Bayern Munich lost the first and second games with a total score of 3-4 and was unable to advance to the finals. Bayern Munich attempted to advance to the finals for the first time in four years since the 2019-20 season, when it reached the top, but was unable to last the final three minutes and lost.

Real Madrid achieved a thrilling comeback victory and advanced to the finals, competing for the championship with Dortmund (Germany), who defeated Paris Saint-Germain (France). The Champions League final will be held at Wembley Stadium in London, England at 4 a.m. on June 2.

If Real Madrid, the team with the most Champions League wins, reaches the top again this season, it will be their 15th title.

Kim Min-jae started the game on the bench and was brought in in place of striker Leroy Sane in the 31st minute of the second half when the team was ahead 1-0 to strengthen the defense.

Kim Min-jae contributed to the team not only defensively but also offensively, such as attempting a header that hit the goal post in the 37th minute of the second half, but failed to advance to the Champions League finals due to an upset loss.

Bayern Munich, who drew 2-2 in the first leg at home, took the lead thanks to Alphonso Davis’ goal in the 23rd minute of the second half. Davis dribbled from the left side to the center and hit a powerful shot with his right foot, hitting the Real Madrid net.

Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel, who took the lead, strengthened the defense by bringing in Kim Min-jae. Accordingly, Real Madrid increased the number of strikers by adding Joselu and Brahim Diaz.

Real Madrid’s substitution was spot on. In the 43rd minute of the second half, Joselu rushed the ball in after Manuel Neuer failed to properly catch Vinicius’ shot.

Three minutes later, Joselu scored a dramatic comeback goal by shooting with his right foot at Antonio Rudiger’s cross from the left flank.

Afterwards, Real Madrid maintained a one-goal advantage by replacing midfielder Jude Bellingham and adding defender Eder Militao, and succeeded in advancing to the finals.
