'The door to his heyday has finally opened wide.'

Lee Kang-in (23) of the French League 1 Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has been steadily performing well this season and is increasingly valued. Of course, the content of the game became better, and the local media's evaluation of it was also raised. In addition, he secured the great trust of PSG coach Luis Enrique and became called the "Prince Enrique" and solidified his position in the team. Literally 'Lee Kang-in's time' came right.

Lee Kang-in played the role of 'fake No. 9' in the 2024-2025 League 1 home game against Stade Rennes at Parc des Princes in Paris, France, on the 28th of last month. Coach Enrique highly appreciated Lee Kang-in's skill and movement. And Lee Kang-in lived up to coach Enrique's trust by playing the task given to him close to perfection.



Lee Kang-in was deployed to the front line, but he led his team to a 3-1 complete victory with a diligent performance between the second line and the left and right. Lee Kang-in, who played a role in leading his teammates' offense more sharply, saw Barcola's shot hit the post in the 12th minute of the second half with a 1-0 lead, and threw himself like a leopard and attempted a diving header shot to shake the net. It was Lee Kang-in's third goal of the season in about a month since the match against Montpellier in the second round.

After the game, Enrique did not even praise Lee Kang-in for his performance. He said "Lee Kang-in is so versatile. In particular, no matter how much pressure the opponent puts on, he doesn't take out the ball. It takes up space well and makes your teammates shine. He's a special player." Thanks to this reaction, Lee Kang-in even got the nickname 'Prince of Enrique'. It's not a bad nickname.



The evaluation of this performance led to special results. He was proudly listed as one of the front-line strikers in League 1 'Team of the Week'.
