Steve McManaman has claimed Bayern Munich's Kim Min-jae had a 'night to forget' after Thomas Tuchel's side allowed Real Madrid to comeback to secure 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, 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. 

'Sloppy, so sloppy, you cannot touch him,' McManaman said to TNT Sports on Kim's penalty challenge.

'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 said: 'Kim has had a night to forget at this level. Can he turn it on again next week at the Bernabeu?'

It was Vinicius Jnr's excellent pass into Rodrygo that forced Kim to make the tackle, with Glenn Hoddle lauding the Brazilian for the excellent ball which forced the defender to pull Rodrygo to the ground. 

'Vinicius does really well here and it’s as though he’s moving into the box saying "bring me down",' Hoddle told TNT Sports.

'But what a cute little ball [to Rodrygo]. Kim's on the wrong side because the ball is so cute it’s put him on the wrong side. He’s tried to make the tackle but it’s an easy decision for the referee. Again it’s a nailed on penalty. But what a lovely ball from Vinicius.

Hoddle also gave his verdict on Vinicius Jnr's opening goal, claiming that Kim had come in too close to Vinicius Jnr, enabling the Brazilian forward to explode past him. 

Hoddle said: 'From Kim's point of view when an attacker comes off you to make them sort of dummy runs, you don't sprint in, you go in stages. He never did it he went in one run and really quickly, gets caught square and then the ball goes in behind and Vinicius did him completely.' 

Owen Hargreaves added: 'I think Kim came in today and was just trying to be a little too aggressive. We see a lot of defenders trying to press and be really aggressive - sometimes just stand still. 

'I think when he watches the game back, the first goal is so avoidable. I just think they'll look at that and think, we've just got to go to Madrid and tidy up our mistakes.'
