'Monster Defender'Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) is back. It's already been predicted that 'single-night football' will be played.

Bayern Munich, led by head coach Vincent Kompany, beat Sao Paulo 3-2 at home in the German Bundesliga in the 2024-2025 season at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on the 29th (Korea time). Bayern Munich remained firmly in first place with 20 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses (65 points). It is six points behind Leverkusen (59 points).

There was some good news. Kim Min-jae, who left due to injury, returned. Kim Min-jae stepped on the ground 18 days after the second round of the European Champions League (UCL) round of 16 against Leverkusen on the 11th. He hasn't played for a while due to achilles tendon pain. He also did not play in the league match against Union Berlin on the 15th. He also failed to play in the 7th to 8th Group B match of the 2026 North-China World Cup Asia 3rd qualifying round against Oman and Jordan in March. He worked hard on his recovery during the A-match break in March.




Kim Min-jae played as a center back with Eric Dier. Bayern Munich took the lead in the 17th minute with Harry Kane's first goal. Kane led the Bundesliga in scoring with 22 goals this season. Bayern Munich scored the equalizer to Elias Saad 10 minutes later. They finished 1-1 in the first half.

Bayern Munich regained the lead in the second half. Leroy Sane scored in the eighth minute of the second half to lead 2-1. Bayern Munich widened the gap with Sane's additional goal in the 26th minute of the second half. Bayern Munich lost a point to Las Ritzka in the extra time of the second half, but used its last-minute concentration to secure the victory.

Bayern Munich couldn't laugh to their heart's content. There was another injury demon. Japanese defender Hiroki Ito, who was substituted in the second half, left the game due to an injury at the end of the game. Bayern Munich said on its website on the 30th that 'Itoga's right metatarsal fracture recurred. He was deployed in the 58th minute and had to leave the stadium in the 89th minute. He will not be able to play for a long time,' he said in an official statement.

Bayern Munich director Max Yval said "Ito was seriously injured once again. It's a big shock to all of us. He returned after a few months of rehabilitation. But now he can't play for a long time again. I can't imagine how he feels. He will get all the support. I hope he gets back on the field. After the injuries of Alfonso Davies and Dayo Upamecano, we lost a third defender in a short period of time."

Davis played in the third to fourth places in the Nations League against the United States as a member of the Canadian national team. However, he injured his cruciate ligament in his right knee. I'm going to have an operation. I don't think I'll be able to play for the next few months. Upamecano played for the French national team in the Nations League against Croatia. He injured his left knee.
