Both Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain, France) and Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich, Germany) were on the shortlist. However, the second `Korean Derby' of the season, which was expected, did not come true in the end.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), led by head coach Luis Enrique, beat Bayern Munich 2-0 in the quarterfinals of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia on the 6th (Korea time). PSG will continue its challenge to win for the fifth time in the 2024-2025 season after the European Champions League (UCL), the French League 1, the Coupe de France (French Cup), and the Trope de Champion (French Super Cup).
The game drew attention as Lee Kang-in and Kim Min-jae's second 'Korean Derby' possibility of the season. The two clashed on the UCL League Phase stage on November 27 last year. At that time, Kim Min-jae played full time. Lee Kang-in was replaced by Warren Zaire Emery in the 20th minute of the second half. Thanks to this, 'Korean Derby' is completed.
I couldn't see the `Korean Derby' in this tournament. Lee Kang-in was listed for every game of the tournament. In the first Group B match against Atletico Madrid (Spain), he also scored a penalty kick. On the other hand, Kim Min-jae was only listed on the replacement list in the aftermath of an Achilles injury. He never got on the ground in this tournament. Lee Kang-in and Kim Min-jae clashed in the quarterfinals. Both players are on the roster. But I didn't get a chance at the end. I watched the game from the bench and finished. However, the two were seen talking for a while after the game.

In the game, PSG succeeded in 's revenge'. Bayern Munich laughed on the UCL League Phase stage in the 2024-2025 season held last year. Kim Min-jae scored in the 38th minute of the first half to win 1-0. PSG bowed its head amid bad news that Usman Dembele was sent off.
This time again, PSG seemed to be hampered by the 'Exit Variable'. There were no two tears. PSG took a 1-0 lead in the 33rd minute of the second half with Desiree Doue's first goal. However, Willian Pacho in the 37th minute of the second half and Luca Hernandez in the extra time of the second half left the ground with red cards in succession. PSG faced a crisis where nine players faced Bayern Munich. However, Dembele's net goal in the extra time of the second half secured the victory. Bayern Munich, on the other hand, ended their challenge by repeatedly being held back by offside. Bayern Munich have extra time in the first half Upamecano's head goal was canceled because it was ruled offside. Harry Kane's header goal in the 42nd minute of the second half was also not recognized for offside.
Meanwhile, PSG reached the semifinals with a victory on the day. In the semifinals, Real Madrid (Spain) will face off at 4 a.m. on the 10th. Real Madrid defeated Dortmund (Germany) 3-2 in the quarterfinals. Another semifinal match will be between Pluminensee (Brazil) and Chelsea (England). The match between the two teams will take place at 4 a.m. on the 9th.
