PSG will play Salzburg in the sixth round of the 2024-2025 UEFA Champions League phase at the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg, Austria, at 5 a.m. on the 11th (Korea time).
PSG currently has one win, one draw and three losses and four points. With the current performance, it is virtually impossible to advance to the round of 16. Only in the top 24 of the 36 teams can they play in the playoffs. As the Champions League phase is in the second half, if PSG continues to stay in this ranking, it will leave the disgrace of being eliminated from the Champions League qualifying round.
PSG has been particularly weak in the Champions League this season.

PSG must win points unconditionally in the match against Salzburg. This is because the remaining games are against Manchester City and Stuttgart, and they have a burdensome schedule.
Fortunately, the opposing team, Salzburg, has not been in a good mood lately. It could be an opportunity for PSG because the entire team is in a slump with five consecutive losses.
In particular, Lee Kang-in's shoulders are heavy. It is a moment when Lee Kang-in, who is establishing his position as a 'Ace' with his recent two consecutive starts, needs proper ball allocation ability and determination.
Lee Kang-in has six goals and one assist in the league this season. Every game he participates in is revitalizing the team with creative passes. He is also active in shooting, and his goal-making ability has also improved.

Lee Kang-in, who had a lot of substitution in the second half of the Champions League, did not show a noticeable performance in his start. He played as a substitute in three of five games and failed to accumulate offensive points in games against Arsenal and Eindhoven, who started. As such, the performance of this game is expected to be a big turning point for Lee Kang-in to be guaranteed an opportunity to start the Champions League in the future.
Lee Kang-in is likely to play as a right-side striker against Salzburg. It's unlikely that you'll start with a 'fake number 9'. This is because Dembele cannot play because of the suspension. Dembele was sent off against Munich in Game 5 of the last league phase. As PSG needs to score, the offense is expected to consist of Hamus, Barcola, and Lee Kang-in three-top.
