Son Heung-min embodies the fearless football of the Asian side, built on intensity, blistering pace and aggressive pressing that suffocates the opponent’s buildup and punishes the slightest mistake.
On the other side, the four-time world champions carry the weight of their stars and a legacy built on structure, rapid passing and lethal strikes arriving from deep.
On the World Cup stage, the Korean team already pulled off an unforgettable win in 2018 against Die Mannschaft, on top of nail-biting showdowns in 1994 and 2002. That wound still stings in the German dressing room: the European giants are out for revenge and to reassert their dominance, while the Taeguk Warriors are determined to prove that nothing about those results was a fluke.
In such a short group stage, every single point can be the difference between keeping the dream alive or packing your bags. This clash promises a relentless tempo, physical battles all over the pitch and non-stop attacking from the very first whistle.
At Qatar 2022, the Taeguk Warriors reached the round of 16, driven by the attacking leadership of Son Heung-min and the power of Hwang Hee-chan, confirming a generation ready to deliver when the pressure is at its highest.
The German side, despite exiting in the group stage, still boasts a one-of-a-kind pedigree and a core of talent that blends experience and creativity, with names like Joshua Kimmich, İlkay Gündoğan and Jamal Musiala.
Face to face: a historic powerhouse eager to rule again, and an Asian team that refuses to be overawed by any badge. Don’t just watch it on a screen: secure your tickets and experience live a showdown between Die Mannschaft and South Korea that could reshape the entire World Cup.
