Lee Kang-in started in the second round of the European Champions League (UCL) league phase of the 2024-2025 season against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in London on the 2nd (Korea time), but failed to prevent his team's 0-2 defeat. For Lee Kang-in, the first UCL selection match of the season was unfortunately concluded.
PSG was dragged by Kai Havertz in the 20th minute of the first half and Bukayo Saka in the 35th minute of the first half. He worked hard to score until the end of the game, but lost without scoring a comeback goal.
However, despite PSG's defeat, Lee Kang-in struggled and showed good performance. Lee Kang-in played as a front-line zero-top in the first half of the game and a right winger in the second half. Lee Kang-in, who came down to the midfield rather than the frontline connection with PSG's sluggish attack in the first half, showed a brilliant attack instinct in the second half.

Lee Kang-in played full-time on the day, creating the most opportunities in both teams, and he also worked hard with one shot, a 100% long pass success rate, three cross successes, one dribble success, and three ball possession restoration. Football statistics media Footmob gave Lee Kang-in a 6.5-point rating, which was higher than Bradley Barcola and Desiree Doue, who started as strikers.
It also complied with the French media's evaluation. France's Foot Mercato gave Lee Kang-in 4.5 points, the highest in the team, and Lee Kang-in started as a front-line striker instead of Randal Colomuani. He added to his efforts by trying to switch with Barcola. Unfortunately, however, he was not a professional No. 9 player, so he was not a match for the opposing defense. However, the mid-range shot that surprised Raya after moving to the right and the movement afterwards was amazing'
France's PSG Post said with the highest rating of 6 points for Lee Kang-in 'Lee Kang-in was the player who made the most threatening attack. There were five key passes, and eight crosses. Overall, these things came out in a lack of games,' he said, praising Lee Kang-in as the only threat in the team.
