Lee Kang-in (23), the future of Korean soccer, has achieved double-digit attack points by wearing the prestigious Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) uniform. It is a feat achieved in his second season after joining PSG and in 120 league games.
Lee Kang-in recorded his fourth assist of the season in an away match against Stade Brest in the 20th round of the 2024-2025 French League 1 held at Stade Francis Le Blais in Brest, France on the 2nd. Lee, who had scored six goals, added a double-digit offensive point on the day. In his first season as a PSG player, he had three goals and four assists in 23 games.
Lee Kang-in's assist came in the 17th minute of the second half when PSG led 2-1. Just before Lee Kang-in received the ball in front of the penalty box, three defenders rushed in. Lee Kang-in made space with a fantastic turn and fell to Usman Dembele, who was rushing to the left, and handed the ball over. Dembele completed a hat trick by connecting the pass with a right-footed shot. Lee Kang-in was replaced by Seni Mayulu in the 36th minute of the second half with a 3-2 lead. Lee Kang-in, who played in the 81st minute, recorded a 94% pass success rate, one key pass and two competitive successes, and PSG won the game 5-2. Lee Kang-in received the highest rating of 7.5 among PSG midfielders from Sofa Score. "It is a game that the winning team and the players who gave good passes should be celebrated," Dembele said after the game. "In particular, Lee Kang-in, who made the hat trick, handed over the magical pass accurately."
PSG, which has been undefeated in 20 matches since the season's opening, has been the first team among the 18 teams to grab 50 points (15 wins, 5 draws), continuing its strides to win the title. It has widened its distance to 13 points from second-ranked Marseille (11 wins, 4 draws, 37 points), which had played less than one match.
Meanwhile, Yang Min-hyuk (18), who made inroads into the English professional soccer scene after making a big splash in the K-League, made his debut at Queens Park Rangers. He joined Tottenham in December last year and had time to adjust to the situation, before transferring to QPR on loan on April 28. Yang was substituted at the 31st minute of the second half when he was dragged 1-2 in an away match between Millwall and the 2024-2025 England Championship (division 2) held in London, the U.K. on the day. 안전놀이터

In the match, Yang displayed impressive performances including effective shots, nine touches on the ball, and a pass success rate of 100 percent (four times). BBC reported that he showed off what kind of attack talent he can add to QPR.
