Kim Min-jae (30, Bayern Munich) missed his second consecutive official game. This is the first time Kim Min-jae has not played in more than two consecutive official games except for consecutive absences due to injuries since August and September last year at the beginning of the season.

Kim Min-jae was listed as a substitute against Leipzig in the German Football Association (DFB) Pokal quarterfinals at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, on the 12th (Korea time), but the opportunity to play was not returned.

In the 21st round of the German Bundesliga against Hoffenheim on the 9th, Kim Min-jae, who was not even listed on the replacement list for no special reason, such as injuries, missed two consecutive games for the first time since August 30 last year and Hamburg on September 13 (Bundesliga).

In addition to the Bundesliga and the DFB Pokal, Bayern Munich continues to push ahead with the UEFA Champions League (UCL), and Kim Min-jae also steadily received opportunities to play through rotation, but this time, he failed to play in two consecutive official games in five months, making his position unstable.

Bayern Munich coach Bang Sang Kompany started Dayo Upamecano and Jonathan Ta, who have become the "main center back line" in both of the last two games in which Kim Min-jae was absent. On top of that, Japanese defender Hiroki Ito replaced in the 18th minute of the second half against Hoffenheim and in the 45th minute of the second half against Leipzig. In the replacement input ranking, it seems to be behind Ito.

With Kim Min-jae absent, Bayern Munich defeated Leipzig 2-0 and advanced to the DFB Pokal semifinals.

Bayern Munich, which broke the balance of 0 with Harry Kane's penalty kick first goal in the 19th minute of the second half, took the victory three minutes later when Luis Díaz's additional goal was scored. Later, Bayern Munich secured a two-goal lead to advance to the semifinals of the tournament.

Bayern Munich, including a 5-1 victory against Hoffenheim, won both games that Kim Min-jae missed in a row and began to win back-to-back games. The next game will be an away game against Werder Bremen in the 22nd round of the Bundesliga at 11:30 p.m. on the 14th. If Kim Min-jae does not even play in this game, he will miss three consecutive official games for the first time this season.
