He played from the opening game. Lee Kang-in started in the opening match against Lorient and performed very well.

After the game, Lee Kang-in was named ‘The Player’ for the Lorient match by the Ligue 1 Secretariat. He also appeared in the subsequent match against Toulouse. However, he did not have the offensive points he expected, and instead received the lowest score among the starting attackers. There was news that Lee Kang-in, who also played as a side striker in two games, could transform into a midfielder as key side resources such as Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele have returned, but he suffered an injury.

Fortunately, recovery was quick. Hangzhou Asian Games national team coach Hwang Seon-hong, who constantly communicated with Lee Kang-in and checked his physical condition, said, “I received an official email and was told that the (injury) recovery is fast,” and “I understand that he will be training with the ball from the first week of this month. A match in September. “After the end of the season, we are preparing to return in time for the weekend game,” he said.

Coach Luis Enrique suddenly named Lee Kang-in. Coach Enrique appointed Lee Kang-in as the right wing of the 4-4-2 formation.

Lee Kang-in’s next mission, after a successful return to the league, was UCL. In an interview with PSG TV, Lee Kang-in said, “UCL is a stage that not only me but all players want to play on. It is an important tournament for me and the team,” and expressed his determination, “I will prepare well for the game against AC Milan and make sure we win.” He continued, “We are well aware that this is a very important game. We are a team that always wants to win every game, and we only think about winning. If we do what we prepare, we can win.” He added, “I’m really looking forward to it and hope that day comes quickly. When I was young, “I have moved to the team I dreamed of since and am playing with the best players in the world. I want to play quickly,” he said, expressing his hope for participation.

Coach Enrique also said, “AC Milan plays in 4-3-3. They show organized play regardless of whether they have the ball or not. Sometimes they put 5 people on defense and adjust the formation. We also have the ability to adapt to the opponent’s strategy. “If Milan make a change, we will do what we have prepared, and if there is no change, we will play as usual.”

European media predicted that Lee Kang-in would start on the bench. Lee Kang-in was on the bench in the expected starting list for the PSG-AC Milan match released by UEFA on the official website on the 24th. France’s RMC Sports also said, ‘Warren Jair Emery has returned from injury. He is now ready to play in the next game. “Vitinya, who missed the Newcastle game, is also expected to take charge of the midfield.” Other media predicted the possibility of Fabian Lewis playing, but all predicted that Lee Kang-in would start on the bench.

Director Enrique’s choice was ‘Expressive Joker’. First, Ousmane Dembele took Lee Kang-in’s place. Coach Enrique brought out the 4-3-3 formation that day. Mbappe, Kolo Muani, and Dembele formed the top three. The French national team’s starting three-top player came out as is. The waist line included Jair-Emery, Manuel Ugarte, and Vitinha. The back four consisted of Lucas Hernández, Marquinhos, Milan Skrniar, and Ashraf Hakimi. The goal was guarded by Gianluigi Donnarumma. It was the best lineup that PSG could bring out. As expected, Lee Kang-in stood on the bench and waited to be dispatched.

AC Milan also introduced the 4-3-3 card. Rafael Leao, Olivier Giroud and Christian Pulisic formed the top three. Tijani Lijnders, Rade Krunic, and Yunus Musa appeared in midfield. Theo Hernández, Fikayo Tomori, Malik Chiau and Pierre Kalulu made up the defense. Mike Meignan put on his goalkeeper gloves.

The confrontation between the Hernández brothers attracted attention. Lucas and Theo are brothers who work together on the French national team, and this time they both played as left fullbacks. Lucas is a player who is strong in defense and Theo is a player who is strong in attack. Although they are brothers, their styles are very different. Lucas left Bayern Munich ahead of this season and wore a PSG uniform. Bayern, who sent Lucas, recruited Kim Min-jae to fill the void. Lucas suffered from injuries last season. Theo performed best for AC Milan and was rated as one of the best defenders in Serie A. Donnarumma was given the task of blocking the attack of her home team. Donnarumma left AC Milan as a free agent last season and joined PSG.

Lee Kang-in came on as a substitute in the 26th minute of the second half. Although he was only a short time, he left a strong impression. He recorded a total of 21 touches, showing a pass success rate of 93%. He attempted 15 passes and completed 14 of them. He attempted a long pass once and succeeded. In particular, he exploded with his debut goal. In the 44th minute of the second half, he exchanged a one-two pass with Jair-Emere near the right touchline, just in front of the halfway line, and rushed to the center. Jair-Emery drove the ball into the center from the right side of the penalty area. When substitute Gonzalo Hamus sensibly let the ball go, Lee Kang-in had a no-mark chance near the arc. Lee Kang-in fired a left-footed diagonal shot into the corner of the goal. It was his debut goal for PSG and his UCL debut goal. Lee Kang-in also shined defensively on this day. Although it was a short period of time, he attempted 5 ground duels and succeeded 3 times, and also made 2 successful tackles.

Lee Kang-in received a rating of 7.6 from PotMob and a rating of 7.4 from SofaScore. WhoScored.com gave it a rating of 7.2. Although he only came on as a substitute for a short time, he had the 4th or 5th highest rating on the team. That’s how big the impact of his debut goal was. At PSG, Zaire Emery was highly rated, followed by Mbappe, Randal Muani, and Donnarumma. On WhoScored.com, Mbappe received the highest score. In AC Milan, Pulisic received the highest rating. Other players only received low ratings of around 6 points.

The home team, PSG, pushed AC Milan from the beginning of the game. AC Milan’s Krunić and Chiau received warnings in the 6th minute of the first half. PSG opened the way with a right-side attack using Dembele. AC Milan also counterattacked. In the 10th minute of the first half, Leao converted Pulisic’s corner kick with a non-stop shot, but missed the side of the goal. AC Milan increased its market share. In the 16th minute, in the process of blocking Leao’s breakthrough, Hakimi committed a foul and allowed a free kick in a dangerous position. Leang’s shot hit Skriniar’s head and was out.

In the 22nd minute, PSG fired a shot. Mbappe, who received Hakimi’s pass, connected with a quick shot. The goalkeeper made a good save. Afterwards, the game was paused for a while. A fan stormed into the stadium. The game resumed after being pulled out by security guards. In the 26th minute, Leao broke through and attempted a right-foot curling shot. It missed the goal slightly. Afterwards, in a counterattack situation, Mbappe attempted a powerful shot, but unfortunately missed.

In a tense situation, PSG scored the first goal. In the 33rd minute, Jair-Emery dribbled from the halfway line. The ball was passed to Mbappe, who shook Tomori with a dribble. When there was space, I attempted a shot with my right foot. This literally shook the AC Milan net. It was a scene where Mbappe’s skills shined. Afterwards, AC Milan launched a counterattack. In the 40th minute, Leao struck with a great dribble, but the PSG defense blocked it. In the end, the first half ended with PSG in the lead.

As the second half started, AC Milan pushed hard. We had a chance to score early. While Donnarumma came up and cleared the ball, AC Milan fired a shot into an empty goal. But the PSG defense cleared it. PSG launched a counterattack. While the AC Milan defense was struggling, Ugarte stole the ball with strong pressure. Vitinha passed the ball to Dembele. Dembele dribbled and pushed it into the opposite corner of the goal. However, as a result of the video review, it was ruled that Ugarte committed a foul in the process of taking the ball. In the end, the score was cancelled.

AC Milan, who had overcome the crisis, took a good opportunity. Pulisic caught the ball from behind. He handed it over to Giroud, who was rushing from the other side. Giroud quickly connected with non-stop shooting. But I hit the side net.

PSG, who successfully blocked the opponent’s attack, scored an additional goal. In the 8th minute, in a corner kick situation, Mbappe quickly handled the ball while the AC Milan defense settled down. Dembele caught the ball and shot inside the penalty box. Meignan struck, but the ball fell in front of Colo Muani. Colo Muani succeeded in scoring an additional goal. PSG gained momentum and continued to create opportunities. PSG, who blocked AC Milan’s attack with strong pressure, immediately launched a counterattack. Mbappe attempted a powerful right-footed shot inside the box. I headed straight ahead.

AC Milan also counterattacked. Pulisic drove from the right flank to the center and struck hard with his left foot. Donnarumma caught it.

PSG’s offensive continued. The attack of the trio of Dembele, Kolo Muani, and Mbappe came to life, shaking the AC Milan defense. Lee Kang-in was brought on in the 26th minute of the second half. Lee Kang-in replaced Dembele. At the same time, Luis also took the field instead of Ugarte. As soon as Lee Kang-in was brought in, he passed a pass to Mbappe with a simple dribble. Mbappe tried to break through, but was caught by the defense and received a corner kick. There were also dizzying scenes. A pass miss was made in the center. Leao even fired a shot, but fortunately Marquinhos blocked it well.

AC Milan also chose change. Yassin Adly and Tommaso Pobega were substituted for Krunić and Musa. It was an aggressive change. It seemed to have an effect. I took a good opportunity. Leang received the pass and penetrated into the empty space in the defense. He hit a shot aimed at the corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Donnarumma made a save. Adli then fell after being pushed by Jair Emery in the box, but the referee continued the game. AC Milan players claimed a penalty kick, but it was not accepted.

AC Milan’s offensive continued. In the 36th minute, Giroud attempted to score with a header from a corner kick situation. Donnarumma headed straight towards the goalkeeper.

PSG also attacked. The attack that started with Lee Kang-in’s toes continued with Hakimi, Vitinya, and Mbappe. Mbappe kicked with his right foot in a no-mark situation. It hit the goalkeeper’s hand and hit the goalpost. It was a disappointing scene for PSG. Lee Kang-in later tried to dribble away from the three opposing defenders, but Theo’s foul led to the attack. It was a scene where Lee Kang-in’s skills stood out.

Lee Kang-in scored before the end of the second half. In the 44th minute, Lee Kang-in exchanged a one-two pass with Jair-Emere near the right touchline, just in front of the halfway line. Lee Kang-in rushed straight to the center, and Jair-Emery drove the ball in. When Jair Emery gave the ball from the right side of the penalty area to the center, substitute Hamus cleverly let the ball go. Lee Kang-in took a no-mark chance near the arc. Lee Kang-in hit the ball with his left foot accurately into the corner of the goal. AC Milan’s net shook, and Lee Kang-in’s debut goal for PSG and UCL debut was finally scored. All of his teammates came running to congratulate Lee Kang-in on his debut goal. Four minutes of extra time were given, and PSG used the remaining time well, eventually completing a 3-0 victory. Lee Kang-in left a clear impression on coach Enrique with his performance against AC Milan. In particular, he showed a definite presence in the game that day, when all three members of the French national team were in full effect.

Lee Kang-in also left a mark on the UCL stage, which he wanted to do. Lee Kang-in made his UCL debut in a match against Chelsea in September 2019 while playing for Valencia. He played a total of 5 UCL matches for Valencia. Lee Kang-in later moved to Mallorca and lost his connection with the UCL stage, but entered the UCL stage again wearing the PSG uniform this season. Lee Kang-in returned to the UCL stage as a substitute in the second half of the game against Dortmund, and even scored a goal in the game against AC Milan. Considering that PSG is a team aiming to win the UCL, Lee Kang-in’s goal this time has great significance.
