It is natural that no single Munich center back has been selected. Not only Kim Min-jae and Upamecano, who were pushed to the bench, but also Dear and De Ligt have not displayed stable performances. Munich had two wins, one draw and one loss in four league matches in March, conceding a whopping seven goals. There has never been a clean sheet match.

In particular, Kim Min-jae has been under fire every day for losing out on the starting lineup. Germany's Bild gave Kim Min-jae six points, the lowest among Munich players, after the last match against Heidenheim. Germany scores from one point to five points, with one being the highest and five being the lowest. The six points Kim Min-jae received were lower than the lowest, meaning he was the biggest reason for the loss.

Next, "Kicker" highlighted the sluggish performance with an article titled "Failure of Centerback, Kim Min-jae and Lack of Sense." The media said, "Coach Tuchel gave unnecessary rest to Matthijs De Ligt and Eric Dyer, and the two starters were disappointed," adding, "In the case of Kim Min-jae, the question arises whether he lacks confidence or ability."

In the end, he is expected to start on the bench against Arsenal. Sky Germany, a local media outlet, predicted that Munich would use a combination of Dear and De Ligt instead of Kim Min-jae in the match against Arsenal. Based on the 4-2-3-1 formation, Kane, Gnabry, Musiala, Sane, Goretzka, Leimer, Davis, Dear, De Ligt, Kimmich and Neuer are expected to start.
