Real drew 3-3 with Manchester City
Bayern Munich of the German professional soccer Bundesliga drew with Arsenal of the English professional soccer Premier League (EPL). Kim Min-jae, who started the game on the bench, never got on the field.
Munich drew 2-2 in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the 2023-2024 UEFA Champions League (UCL) against Arsenal held at the Emirates Stadium in London, England on the 10th (Korean time).
The two teams, who were unable to decide the winner in the first game, will advance to the semifinals in the second game at the Allianz Arena in Germany on the 18th.
Kim Min-jae was named on the substitute list for the game that day, but was not brought in. Based on UCL standards, he has been excluded from the ‘War of Stars’ for two consecutive games since the second leg of the round of 16 (3-0 win) against Lazio (Italy) on the 6th of last month.
Kim Min-jae’s position has been shaken recently. He lost his starting position to Eric Dier, who joined Munich through the transfer market last winter.
On the 6th, he started as a starter in the league match against Heidenheim for the first time in 5 games, but was unable to prevent a 2-3 defeat and was excluded again from the match against Arsenal.
Contrary to expectations, Munich, who excluded Kim Min-jae to stabilize the defense, gave up the first goal in 12 minutes of the first half.
Bukayo Saka, assisted by Ben White, broke the balance of the game.
Arsenal’s lead did not last long. In the 18th minute of the first half, Serge Gnabry scored on Leon Goretzka’s pass.
Munich then turned the tables. Harry Kane finished the penalty kick taken by Leroy Jaune in the 32nd minute of the first half.
The home team, Arsenal, did not collapse. In the 31st minute of the second half, Leandro Torsar, assisted by Gabriel Jesus, tied the score again.
The game ended just like that, and the two teams will decide the winner in the second game of the quarterfinals.
Meanwhile, on the same day, Real Madrid of the Spanish professional soccer Primera Liga drew 3-3 in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the EPL against Manchester City held at home.
Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva scored the first goal two minutes into the first half, but Manchester City defender Ruben Dias gave up an own goal.
Real, who had set the tone with an equalizer, succeeded in turning the game around with Rodrygo’s goal in the 14th minute of the first half.
However, they allowed an equalizer to Phil Foden in the 21st minute of the second half and a comeback goal to Joszko Gvardiol in the 26th minute of the second half.
Fortunately, Federico Valverde scored in the 34th minute of the second half, resulting in a 3-3 draw.
The two teams are also scheduled to decide the winner in the second game of the quarterfinals.
Their quarterfinal second match will also be held on the 18th. The stadium is Etihad Stadium, Manchester City’s home stadium.
