Steve McManaman has claimed Bayern Munich's Kim Min-jae had a 'night to forget' after Bayern Munich allowed Real Madrid to seal a 2-2 draw in their opening Champions League semi-final tie.
Vinicius Jnr opened the scoring at the Allianz Stadium, breaking free from some poor positioning from Kim before side-footing the ball around Manuel Neuer in goal.
Bayern hit back with two goals from Leroy Sane and a penalty from Harry Kane, but the home side failed to see out the match, with Kim conceding a penalty in the 83rd minute of the match, bringing down Rodrygo inside the box.
It was a costly error that allowed Vinicius Jnr to level the scores 2-2 and give Madrid a lifeline heading into their return leg at the Bernabeu, with McManaman quick to highlight the Bayern defender's mistake.
'Sloppy, so sloppy, you cannot touch him,' McManaman said to TNT Sports on the penalty.
'Lovely play by Vinicius Jnr. That’s a penalty. What’s he playing at [Kim] making a challenge like that?
‘Doesn’t matter what level you play at. Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes, will cost you dearly,' he added.'
'That was the lifeline Real Madrid needed. Lovely ball from Vini Jnr. Nice poke ball to Rodrygo. But why is he [Kim] making the decision to tackle. Eric Dier is the sweeper behind him. And he’s [Vini’s] not missing that.’
Reflecting on Bayern's inability to close out the match, McManaman later claimed: 'Kim has had a night to forget at this level. Can he turn it on again next week at the Bernabeu?'
