Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) ace Usman Dembele raised his thumb toward his teammate Lee Kang-in, who contributed to the hat trick.
Dembele mentioned the name of Lee Kang-in, who assisted his third goal in an official interview after shooting a hat trick (three points in a single game) in the 20th round of the French Ligue 1 match against Brest in the 2024-2025 season at Stade Francis Le Blais in Brest, France on the 2nd (Korea time).
According to the soccer media GoalCom, France's national striker Dembele should praise his teammates after the game, especially the players who made the pass. All I did in the first goal scene was score a goal. And Kangin's pass in the third goal scene was amazing."
Dembele started as a front-line striker in a 4-3-3 formation and worked with 'Transferee'Hvicha Kravatskhelia and Bradley Barcola. Lee Kang-in, who played as a substitute in the second half of the European Champions League phase 8 (4-1 win) against Stuttgart during the week, built a midfield team with Fabian Lewis and Vitinha. Played the right flank and the right half space for 81 minutes as the main stage.

Archiraf Hakimi, Marquiños, William Pacho and Nunu Mendes set up a four-back, while Gianluigi Donnarumma kept the goal. Key midfielders such as João Neves and Warren Zaire-Emery were excluded from the entry due to injuries.
Dembele scored the first goal in the 29th minute of the first half when he was handed a pass from winger Bradley Barcola when the balance of zero was maintained. Dembele, who scored an additional goal in the 12th minute of the second half when the score was tied at 1-1, connected Lee Kang-in's pass to the third goal five minutes later.
Lee Kang-in, who beat Markman with a fantastic turn motion in the middle of the penalty box, confirmed Dembele's position at the left side of the box and then poked a sharp space pass. Dembele simply put a spoon on the table.
Lee Kang-in, who wrote his fourth assist of the season, scored double-digit attack points (six goals and four assists in 20 games) in his second season after joining PSG in 2023. Recently, Lee Kang-in, who contributes to the offense rather than scoring, gave Dembele consecutive assists following the home game (2-1 win) against Saint-Etienne on the 13th.

Dembele, who shot a hat-trick in the eighth European Champions League phase against Stuttgart during the week, has written a new history of scoring a hat-trick in two consecutive official games for the first time in PSG history. 'Former ace'Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid), Neymar (Santus), and Zlatan Ibrahimovic (retired).
It is the first time in about a year and eight months that a French player has scored a hat trick in two consecutive games since April 2023 when Karim Benzema (currently RT Hard) was playing in a Real Madrid uniform. Dembele, who scored his 12th and 14th goals in the league in a day, quickly became the top scorer in Ligue 1. Dembele, who left Barcelona in 2023 and entered PSG with Lee Kang-in, scored only six goals (3 league goals, 42 games) in his first season. Including this season's cup competition, it is already the 19th goal (26 games).
PSG caught up with a 2-3 score in the 26th minute of the second half, after Dembele's hat trick, allowing a chase goal to Ludovic Azorke. Brest, who has won three consecutive league games before the PSG match, proved to be a formidable team. Brest and PSG will clash in the knockout playoff phase on the 12th and 20th to advance to the round of 16 in the Champions League.

In the second half, PSG, which tried to change by removing Kravatskhelia, Dembele, Barcola and Lee Kang-in one after another and putting Desire du, Gonzalo Hamus, Luca Hernandez and Seni Mayulu, won 5-2 with Hamus' consecutive goals in the 44th minute of the second half and 7th minute of extra time.
The leading PSG, which continued its unbeaten season, had a point of 50 points, widening the gap with second-place Olympique Marseille (37 points), which played one less game, to 13 points.
PSG coach Luis Enrique expressed satisfaction with the strikers' performance. Enrique told beIN Sports that `Dembele has the potential to be any player he wants. Keep calm, and you can score goals with either the header or both feet"The media will want to raise him to the next Maradona, but he's smart. I know how to take advantage of the opportunities my team members create. I'm really happy with our attack options"
PSG will play Le Mans against Coupe de France in the round of 16 on the 5th and play two important games against Monaco (League) on the 8th and Brest (Champs) on the 12th.
