Kim Min-jae (28, Bayern Munich) is ‘Sawtooth’ and Lee Kang-in (23, PSG) is hopeless.
Score90, a soccer content production company, has revealed the odds of the eight teams advancing to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League after the first leg of the quarterfinals on Nov. 11 (KST).
This season’s Champions League is a war of the stars. There aren’t many upsets. These are the eight teams that have lived up to their reputations, and the ones that have gone up have gone up.
There were no one-sided matches. Every game was tight. Although Borussia Dortmund made a series of mistakes in the first half against Atletico Madrid and conceded one goal after another, they battled back to find the back of the net twice in the second half and finished the game 1-2-1.
There have been plenty of goals in this season’s quarterfinals as the top teams battle it out.
On Tuesday, Real Madrid and Manchester City battled to a 3-3 draw with three goals apiece, 안전놀이터 추천 while Arsenal and Bayern Munich battled to a 2-2 draw. On the 11th, PSG and Barcelona combined for five goals, while Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund shared three goals.
Amidst the fierce competition, score90 revealed the final win percentage of each team. The odds for the two teams with Korean players were also revealed.
First up, Bayern Munich, who drew 2-2 with Arsenal in the first leg, are at 50%.
Kim Min-jae has fallen out of favor in the second half of the season. In the UEFA Champions League group stage match against SS Lazio on March 6, Tuchel benched Kim in favor of Eric Dier-Matthijs de Ligt in central defense.
After starting from the bench, Kim made his first start in a long time on June 6 against FC Heidenheim.
The result was not good. Munich took a 2-0 lead against the promoted side, using their experience to dominate the attack, but conceded three second-half goals to lose 2-3.
After the game, Bild gave Kim a rare “bottom of the table” rating of six points.
Kim was sent back to the bench. He remained on the bench for the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal first leg of the 2023-2024 season against Arsenal on Oct. 10.
“There are some within Munich who are calling Kim a failed signing,” Bild reports.
Munich played out a tense 2-2 draw away from home in the first leg amidst a number of officiating controversies. score90 gives Munich a 50% chance of winning the second leg.
The outlook is even bleaker for Lee’s club, PSG.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) lost 2-3 to FC Barcelona in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals of the 2023-2024 season at the Parc des Princes in Paris, France, on Nov. 11.
PSG lined up in a 4-3-3 formation. Kylian Mbappe, Marco Asensio, and Ousmane Dembele lined up up front, with Vitinha, Fabian Luis, and Lee Kang-In in the middle. Nuno Mendes-Lucas Beraldo-Luca Hernandez-Marquinhos formed the defense, with Gianluigi Donnarumma in goal.
It was Barcelona who scored the first goal. They took the lead in the 37th minute of the first half, with a goal that rattled the net. PSG responded with back-to-back goals from Ousmane Dembele and Vitinha in the third and sixth minutes of the second half, but Hapinha and Andreas Christensen scored again in the 17th and 32nd minutes of the second half, leaving PSG with a 2-3 defeat.
Unable to overcome Barcelona’s ‘winning DNA’, PSG will face a second leg at the Camp Nou, the ‘away team’s hell’.
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid, who beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 at home, have a 69% chance of reaching the last four, while Man City, who drew 3-3 away to Real Madrid, have a 70% chance.
