Bayern Munich (Germany), who took a breather following two months of Kim Min-jae’s strong march, ended its 17-game winning streak in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) group stage.

Munich played the 2023-2024 UEFA UCL Group A home game in the 5th game of Group A held at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on the 30th (Korean time), but might not decide the winner with Copenhagen (Denmark) 0-0. Kim Min-jae, who was in the midst of controversy over overuse, was excluded from the competition list due to a butt bruise.

Munich is a team that has shown ‘extreme strength’ in the UCL group stage. They were on a 17-game winning streak, but their progress came to a halt following the draw on this day. Still, they continued their 39-game undefeated streak (35 wins, 4 draws) in the UCL group stage. Before this game, they had already recorded 4 wins and 1 draw (13 points), finishing first in their group and confirming their advancement to the round of 16.

Minjae Kim took a break for the first time in a long time. He played full time in most games, including 12 Bundesliga regular league games, 4 UCL games, and 6 A matches played in the national team uniform, raising concerns regarding his stamina and injuries. Because of this, criticism poured in on Munich coach Thomas Tuchel and Korean national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann for being harsh.

On this day, midfielder Leon Goretzka came down to fill the center back position that Minjae Kim left. Goretzka played central defense with Dayot Upamecano. Copenhagen’s Ronu Vardgi’s shot in the 27th minute of the first half and Munich’s Thomas Müller’s header in the 30th minute of the first half did not result in a goal.

Munich continued the offensive in the second half, but failed to score. Harry Kane’s mid-range shot in the 23rd minute of the second half and Upamecano’s header in the 35th minute of the second half failed to open the opponent’s goal. In the 42nd minute of the second half, Copenhagen’s Mohamed Elionusi fired a series of shots, but they were all blocked by Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

Meanwhile, a battle is taking place for second place in Group A, which is dominated by Munich. 2nd place Copenhagen and 3rd place Galatasaray (Turkiye) have 5 points, and 4th place Manchester United (England) has 4 points, so one team that will advance to the round of 16 will be determined depending on the result of the final match.
