With Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) midfielder Lee Kang-in playing as a substitute, PSG won the league again.

PSG won 4-1 in the 21st round of the 2024-2025 season against AS Monaco at Parc des Princes in Paris, France on the 8th (Korea time).

The home team PSG came out in a 3-4-3 formation. Khvicha Kvaratshelia, Usman Dembele and Bradley Barcola were among the three-top players. João Neves, Vitinha, Fabian Lewis and Desiree Doue worked together in the midfield. The three-back consisted of Nunu Mendes, Willian Pacho, and Marquiños. The goal was kept by Gianluigi Donnarumma. Lee Kang-in, who played full time in the last game, was on the replacement list.




The away team Monaco faced each other in a 4-4-2 formation. Mikah Beerres and Brehl Embolo on the front line, and Minamino Takumi, Dennis Zakaria, Sungutu Magasa and Magneshu Akliouche on the midfield. The defense was built by Chao Enrique, Christian Mawisa, Tilo Kerer and Van der Sson. The goalkeeper's gloves were worn by Radoswaf Mayetski.

From the first half, the two teams exchanged attacks and beat each other's goals. In the counterattack in the fifth minute of the first half, Minamino received the ball from the right side of the penalty box from Aklouche and took a golden opportunity in the box, but the shot was not properly loaded and caught.

The team that led with the first goal was PSG. In the 6th minute of the first half, he got a free kick from a side relatively far from the penalty box, and Vitinha finished it with his right foot. The shot, which was sharply wound into the corner of the goal, went straight into the goal, although Golkipa fired himself.




However, Monaco also fought back at an early point. In the 17th minute of the first half, Zakaria received Mawisa's penetration pass and advanced deep to the right side of the penalty box. Zakaria aimed between Donnarumma and the net despite the narrow angle, and the ball shook the PSG net. Monaco was able to score an additional point in the 23rd minute of the first half when Minamino, who received a perfect pass from Akliuche, caught the ball in the center of the box, but Pacho's accurate tackle overcame the crisis.

PSG showed concentration in attack and defense. In the 27th minute of the first half, Barcola cut the goal with a pass given by João Neves from the side of the net, but it was already ruled that the ball was off the goal line and was not recognized as a score. In the 29th minute of the first half, Donnarumma blocked the perfect scoring opportunity caught by the opponent's striker Bearres with a persistent save attempt.

PSG missed a chance to take the lead. In the 35th minute of the first half, Neves' pass flowed into the box, and Fabian sensibly gave it up between his legs. Barcola, who caught the ball, delivered the ball to his teammates in the center of the box through a cutback pass, but unfortunately, the defense settled down and cleared it. Dembele's powerful mid-range shot in the 38th minute also went off the side of the net. In the 44th minute of the first half, Mendes' accurate cross into the box was directed to Dembele, but the first touch fell long and the goalkeeper caught it just before attempting to shoot. The first half ended 1-1.

In the second half, PSG widened the gap sharply. Khvicha, who received Barcola's pass in the box in the 9th minute of the second half, calmly attempted to shoot past one opponent's defense. The ball shook Monaco's net as it was. Khvicha enjoyed his first score since joining PSG.

PSG soon scored the third goal. Dembele, who received a pass from Doue in the 12th minute of the second half, quickly penetrated between the defense and split the goal by accurately aiming between the goalkeeper and the goalpost. Dembele has continued his formidable scoring streak of 12 goals in the last seven games.

Lee Kang-in also stepped on the ground. In the 18th minute of the second half, Barcola was out, and Lee Kang-in and Luca Hernandez were put in. Lee Kang-in continued to contribute to the team's offense by moving back and forth between the midfield and the side after the introduction.

PSG scored the fourth point and won the game. In the 45th minute of the second half, Mendes broke through directly to break down the left. Mendes' attempted cross touched Dembele's foot, which was rushing from the other side, and the ball headed straight into Monaco's goal.

In the end, the game ended with a 4-1 victory for PSG.
