Lee Kang-in Collects Assist as PSG Reach Quarterfinals at UEFA Champions League
Korean midfielder Lee Kang-in and his Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are off to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League.
Lee recorded his first career Champions League assist to help PSG defeat Real Sociedad 2-1 in the second leg of the round of 16 at Anoeta Stadium in San Sebastian, Spain, on Tuesday (local time).
PSG won 4-1 on aggregate, and they have made it to their first European quarterfinals since the 2020-2021 season. 카지노사이트킹
Lee came off the bench to begin the second half, with PSG up 1-0 on Kylian Mbappe’s 15th-minute goal.
Then 11 minutes after the restart, Lee sent a long pass into open space for Mbappe,
who collected the ball, cut inside and struck a low shot into the bottom left corner.
It was Lee’s first assist since rejoining PSG following Korea’s semifinal exit at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup in Qatar last month.
Lee caused a stir when it was later revealed that he had gotten into a scuffle
with captain Son Heung-min over a game of table tennis on the eve of Korea’s semifinal loss to Jordan.
Lee Kang-in has since apologized to Son and the rest of his teammates.
