“Golden Boy” Lee Kang-in 23, Paris Saint-Germain delivered a good news ahead of joining the national team. He scored the winning goal and won his first trophy since moving to the Asian Cup, giving good energy to Klinsmann, who is trying to win the Asian Cup for the first time in 64 years.

At the 2023 Trope de Champaign France Super Cup against Toulouse held in Paris, France on Monday, Lee scored the first goal in just three minutes. Paris Saint-Germain beat the French team 2-0 by combining Lee Kang-in’s goal with Kylian Mbappe’s additional goal in the 44th minute of the first half. Lee’s goal became the winning goal.

The Trope de Champaign, which started in 1995, is a competition in which the winner of the French Ligue 1 championship and the winner of the Coupe de France France Cup compete. PSG is the champion of the 2022-2023 season, and Toulouse topped the French Cup in the same season. PSG, the biggest winner of the Trope de Champaign, has become the 12th winner of the championship.

PSG, which was hit by the “difficult” Toulouse, easily solved the game with Lee Kang-in’s scoring shot. Lee Kang-in finished with a left-footed shot in the 3rd minute of the first half, flooding the pass handed by Usman Dembele from the right side to the goal. It was Lee Kang-in’s third goal this season 1 goal in the regular league, 1 goal in the UEFA Champions League, 1 goal in the Super Cup, and PSG’s first goal in 2024.

Lee Kang-in’s performance continued after that. In the 35th minute of the first half, Uren Zaire Emery’s cross was connected with a fantastic left-footed overhead kick, drawing cheers from fans. Unfortunately, however, the ball went straight to the goalkeeper and failed to score a goal. Lee Kang-in also contributed to Mbappe’s additional goal in the 44th minute of the first half. Bradley Barcola, who received Lee Kang-in’s pass near the half line, immediately connected to Mbappe, and Mbappe finished with a clean right-footed shot following a dribble breakthrough.

Originally, Lee Kang-in had to join the national team for off-season training in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates UAE, on the 2nd in accordance with the A-match convocation regulations. However, with the permission of the national soccer team coach Jurgen Klinsmann, he played in the match on this day, and eventually won the championship, allowing him to face the Asian Cup in a good mood.

It is the first time in five years that Lee has won a championship since the Copa del Rey King’s Cup in the 2018-2019 season when he was playing for Valencia Spain. However, as Lee was participating in the FIFA U-20 World Cup in the 2018-2019 season, he could not join the team. It is the first time that he contributed to the championship and lifted the trophy in person.

After the match, Lee Kang-in was named Man of the Match through the official Instagram account of League 1. “Sopa Score,” a European soccer statistics media, gave Lee an 8.0 rating. The score was the second highest between the two teams, following teammate Ashraf Hakimi 8.6.

“We had ambitions to lift the trophy. I always try to help the team, and I work hard for it,” Lee said in an interview with a local television after the match. “Playing with the best players in the world helps a lot. I’m trying to learn from them. I’m very happy for this team.” Now, Lee Kang-in will leave his team and arrive in the UAE on the morning of the 5th local time and begin to harden for the Asian Cup. 스포츠중계
