Tuchel criticizes Kim’s performance against Real

Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel has called out defender Kim Min-Jae for his role in conceding 2 goals to Los Blancos in the 2-2 draw in their UCL ½ final 1^st leg yesterday in Germany.

The Korean defender gave away a 2^nd half-penalty, which Vini Jr. converted to equalize for Real Madrid, while the German team boss also shared the mistake that Kim made that led to Bayern conceding the 1^st goal in the game.

“Kim was too overly ambitious 2 times. He made the 1^st move too early vs. Vini in the 1^st goal and got caught by Toni Kroos’ pass,” Bayern Munich’s head coach claimed.

“Kim speculated and was too aggressive. In the 2^nd goal, he made a mistake again. We were 5 vs. 2, we had the numbers. It was not needed to defend that aggressively vs. Rodrygo.

Tuchel added that the Korean defender would have received help any moment from Eric Dier but that’s when Kim made the penalty that allowed Los Blancos to left Munich unbeaten.
