Korean star sets impressive record, makes waves in Europe

Last night, PSG beat Tottenham in a penalty shootout in the European Super Cup at Friulli Stadium (Italy). Despite being two goals down to Spurs, PSG still equalized in the last 10 minutes of the match, before defeating their opponents in the penalty shootout.

Thus, PSG became the first French team in history to win the European Super Cup. Lee Kang In was the one who opened the scoring for PSG when he scored from outside the penalty area in the 84th minute.

The star born in 2001 made history after winning the title with PSG. Accordingly, Lee Kang In became the first Korean player to win the European Super Cup. In the past, Park Ji Sung participated in the European Super Cup with Man Utd in 2008. However, the Red Devils lost 1-2 to Zenit, making it impossible for the Korean legend to win this title.

In addition, Lee Kang In is also the first Asian player to win the Champions League and then the European Super Cup right after.

With Son Heung Min leaving European football, Lee Kang In is emerging as the biggest hope of Korean football.

The striker has won 8 titles with PSG including 2 Ligue 1, 2 National Cups, 2 French Super Cups, 1 Champions League and 1 European Super Cup. The 24-year-old striker is approaching the record of 11 titles in Europe held by the legend Park Ji Sung.

Although not yet a key player at PSG, Lee Kang In is always considered a dangerous “trump card” by coach Luis Enrique. This season, the star born in 2001 will strive to compete for an official position at the Parc des Princes.

PSG will play their opening match of Ligue 1 this season against Nantes at 01:45 on August 18.
