MUNICH, Germany – South Korean football stars Kim Min-jae and Lee Kang-in are set to face off in a historic Champions League clash when Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain meet on November 27th.
It will be the first time two South Korean players have faced each other in the Champions League since 2012 when Park Ji-sung's Manchester United took on Park Joo-ho's FC Basel.
Both Bayern and PSG have struggled in the revamped group stage format, with neither team securing a dominant position. Bayern, currently 17th in their group with two wins and two losses, will be looking to extend their six-match unbeaten run and keep a clean sheet at home for the seventh consecutive game. Kim Min-jae, a key figure in Bayern's defense, has been instrumental in their recent defensive solidity.
PSG, on the other hand, sits in 25th place with one win, one draw, and two losses. Despite a prolific attack in their domestic league, they have struggled to find the net consistently in the Champions League. Lee Kang-in, who has scored six goals for PSG this season, will be looking to make his mark on the game and help his team secure a much-needed victory.
With both teams vying for a place in the knockout stages, the match between Kim and Lee is set to be a highlight of the group stage. The clash of the South Korean duo will undoubtedly draw significant attention from fans around the world, as they look to showcase their talents on the biggest stage in European club football.
