THE REASON FOR KIM MIN-JAE'S REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN REVEALED! KOMPANY SAID, "I NEEDED TO EASE THE PRESSURE ON THE PLAYERS."

Coach Bang Sang Kompany was considerate of Kim Min-jae (28, Munich). Bayern Munich lost 0-1 against Aston Villa in the second round of the 2024-2025 UEFA Champions League phase at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, at 4 a.m. on the 3rd (Korea time). Kim, along with Dayo Upamecano, played for 86 minutes as the starting center back for Munich.
