Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain, PSG), who is playing in the French professional soccer league 1, played full-time wearing a Korean uniform. He showed good performance a day before the announcement of the national team A-match list in March, so attention is focused on whether he will be selected.
PSG recorded a 2-2 draw in the 25th round of the 2023-2024 French Ligue 1 against Reims held at Parc des Princes in Paris, France at 9 p.m. on the 10th (Korean time).
Leader PSG, who recorded a draw in three consecutive league games, now has 16 wins, 8 draws, and 1 loss (56 points). The point difference with second place Brest (46 points) is 10 points.
On this day, PSG players wore Korean uniforms and played in the game. This is to commemorate the opening of the PSG flagship store in Korea.
Lee Kang-in started as a starter and played full time. He opened up the attack with sharp crosses, pressure, and shooting.
In the 18th minute of the first half, Gonzalo Hamus scored a cross that started the comeback goal, and in the 18th minute of the second half, he threatened Reims with a surprise right-footed shot.
Lee Kang-in has been under a lot of criticism from domestic public opinion since the controversy over the Asian Cup last month.
The Korea Football Association plans to announce the national team list on the 11th ahead of the two-game series against Thailand in the 2026 North, Central America World Cup Asia 2nd round qualifiers to be held this month. Attention is focused on the choice of coach Hwang Seon-hong, who took over as interim head coach.
PSG conceded the first goal six minutes into the game due to Achiraf Hakimi's mistake.
Hakimi lost the ball to his opponent while handling the ball in the penalty box, allowing Marshall Munec to score.
However, 10 minutes later, Reims' own goal from a corner kick set-piece brought the game to a close.
Then, in the 18th minute of the first half, Hamus scored a comeback goal.
Lee Kang-in's cross from the right side hit the opposing defender's body, and Hamus quickly shot to hit Reims' net. It was a scoring scene where Lee Kang-in's cross that shook the defense and Hamus' quick judgment were combined.
Reims did not back down easily either. Diakite's consolation goal in the 44th minute ended the first half at 2-2.
PSG coach Luis Enrique made a game-winning move by bringing in Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele at the same time in the 27th minute of the second half with the score tied at 2-2.
However, in the end, the two teams ended the game without any additional goals.
