Kim Minjae, the shield for "Enemy" vs. Chang Lee Kangin

2023-24 UEFA Champions League Match Table.

Can Kim Min-jae 27, Bayern Munich and Lee Kang-in 23, Paris Saint-Germain have a historic showdown on the "dream stage".

Bayern Munich defeated Arsenal 1-0 in the second leg of the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League quarterfinals held at the Allianz Arena in Munich on Wednesday. Munich, which had a 2-2 draw in the first leg, advanced to the semifinals with a score of 3-2.

When Kim was leading 1-0 in the second half, he replaced Kim in the 31st minute of the second half and played for about 18 minutes until the whistle blew, maintaining his win by one goal difference. For the first time since moving overseas, he played as a side defender instead of a center defender.

On the 17th, a day earlier, Lee Kang-in's team PSG dramatically advanced to the semi-finals by beating FC Barcelona 4-1 with Mbappe's multi-goal, 2-3 defeat in the first round, and making a total score of 6-4. Lee Kang-in, who started the first round, was substituted in the 32nd minute of the second half.

The Korean player's recent participation in the semifinals of the Champions League is Son Heung-min, the "captain" of Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League. In the 2018-19 season, Tottenham advanced to the semifinals by beating Manchester City and faced Ajax of the Netherlands, who helped Son advance to the finals by playing in the second round.

It is the first time in about 20 years that two Korean players advance to the semifinals of the Champions League. Park Ji-sung and Lee Young-pyo, who both played at PSV Eindhoven the Netherlands in the 2004-05 season, both played in the semifinals. However, it is the first time that a Korean player advances to the semifinals in different teams. Furthermore, there is a possibility that the two Korean players will have a showdown over the "Big Year" at the much-awaited final stage Wembley Stadium in London, June 2.

Munich will face Spain's Real Madrid and PSG's Dortmund in the semifinals. Munich or PSG do not have an advantage over Real or Dortmund, but it can be hopeful if you consider the momentum going into the semifinals.

PSG and Munich faced off in the Champions League final of the 2019-20 season. At that time, Munich won the final 1-0, lifting the trophy.


Korean soccer fans are looking forward to meeting Kim Min-jae and Lee Kang-in as "enemies" on the best stage.

However, even if the team advances to the final, it is not certain whether Kim Min-jae and Lee Kang-in will face off. It is true that Kim Min-jae was pushed back from the main competition under Tuchel. Lee Kang-in also started in the first round of the quarterfinals, but was replaced in the second round.

As Tuchel used Kim Min-jae as a left-side defender in the second round of the quarterfinals, if Kim Min-jae plays a role in the semifinals, the possibility of participating in the finals cannot be ruled out. Lee Kang-in is much more likely to play. Despite some mixed reviews in the quarterfinals, Lee Kang-in's performance, which was revealed in the figures, was never bad.
