Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel has blamed Korean defender Kim Min-Jae for their 2-2 draw with Real Madrid.

Tuchel laid the blame for Bayern's 2-2 draw with Real Madrid firmly at the feet of defender Kim Min-Jae.

Vinicius Jr received Toni Kroos’ pass behind Kim, who got his positioning all wrong, to open the scoring at Allianz Arena.

After Leroy Sane and Harry Kane scored for the Bundesliga giants, the defender fouled Rodrygo and gave away the penalty.

Vinicius converted the spot-kick, firing low past Manuel Neuer.

Tuchel, speaking on Min-Jae after the game, said:

“He was too ‘greedy’ twice.

“He made the first move too early against Vinicius in the first goal and got caught by Toni Kroos’ pass. He speculated and was too aggressive.

"In the second goal, unfortunately, it was another mistake.”
