Lee Kang-in's chances to play have increased significantly recently. From the middle and second half of last season, they often started on the bench, and all they had to do was play in league games that had already won the championship. This season, he has played 18 games across all tournaments, with two goals and two assists. It lasted a total of 907 minutes.
Lee Kang-in's role has become important due to injuries to team members at the beginning of the 2025-2026 season. Lee Kang-in also played as a starter in the match against AS Monaco in French League 1 on the 30th of last month. The game was important as it was a game between the two teams competing for the top spot in League One. The fact that he started in such a game shows the coach's belief in Lee Kang-in.
Lee Kang-in showed aggressive performance by trying to shoot with his right foot after peeling off the opposing defenders in the 32nd minute of the first half. He also tried to shoot with his left foot in the 35th minute of the first half, but he missed the goal.
He was mainly active on the right side, creating opportunities for his colleagues with opposite conversion passes or forward passes several times. However, both teams finished the first half without scoring 0-0.
Lee Kang-in was replaced by Dembele in the 18th minute of the second half. After that, PSG collapsed. In the 23rd minute of the second half, Golovin connected a cross from the left to the center, and Japanese player Takumi Minamino trapped it with his right foot and connected it with a left-footed shot to score. In other words, Lee Kang-in lost a point five minutes after leaving the stadium.
After that, PSG went on a general offensive, but failed to score. Most of all, Dembele, who returned from injury, did not show an ace-like performance. It seems that time is needed to regain normal condition. As a result, PSG coach Luis Enrique showed that the decision to put Dembele in early in the second half without Lee Kang-in was wrong.
For Lee Kang-in, who maintains a smooth relationship with the players and is also receiving opportunities to play, this is an important time. One by one, the main players must enter the competition as they begin to return from injuries. Whenever you get a chance to play, you have to show a remarkable performance. If the returning main strikers are active again, Lee Kang-in can sit on the bench again.
