Munich drew 2-2 against Arsenal in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals in the 2023-24 season at the Emirates Stadium in London, England, at 4 a.m. on Sunday (Korea time). Munich and Arsenal will have their second match at the Allianz Arena in Munich at 4 a.m. on Sunday.

Against Arsenal, Munich launched the 4-2-3-1 formation. Manuel Neuer, Alfonso Davis, Eric Dier, Matthijs de Licht, Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, Konrad Reimer, Serge Gnabry, Jamal Musiala, Leroy Sane and Harry Kane started.

As expected, Kim was in the bench. "Thomas Tuchel has not revealed the blueprint of the defense team in the match against Arsenal, but he will rely on De Ligt and Dier," Germany's TZ said. "Bench options Kim Min-jae and Da Upamecano performed poorly in the match against Heidenheim." "Kim Min-jae and Da Upamecano will start in the bench, while De Ligt and Dier will return to the bench," said Babarian Football, which reported the Munich news.

Kim Min-jae was a key player in Munich, but he has been lagging behind recently. Tuchel prefers De Ligt and Dier lines. He got a chance to start the match against Heidenheim, but he couldn't avoid responsibility for his team's 2-3 loss after leading 2-0. Amid a flurry of criticism and criticism, Kim started on the bench against Arsenal and was absent.

Rumors have it that he will move to Munich after spending longer time sitting on the bench. He has been linked to Inter Milan and Real Madrid. It is still highly unlikely, but the move was also evidence that Kim's position is shaky. Amid the possibility that Kim will leave, Toby Altschapel, a reporter for Germany's Sport Bild, said, "Kim Min-jae is currently a bench member, but he feels comfortable in Munich."

"Kim Min-jae's goal is to regain his position under a new coach," Altschapel said. "A transfer in the summer is not considered." With Tuchel only in charge until this season, Munich will soon have a new coach. It seems that Kim wants to compete in Munich rather than transfer.

Meanwhile, the result was a 2-2 draw. Munich was defensive and blocked Arsenal, only to concede two runs. Dier's bystander defense has become fatal. Attention is focusing on whether Tuchel will change his defense line or use Kim Min-jae in the second match against Arsenal next week.
