Will PSG Lee Kang-in lead the comeback victory in the second leg of the UCL quarterfinals away to Barcelona?

 Lee Kang-in (23) of Paris Saint-Germain (France), who is on the brink, is aiming for a comeback victory in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League (UCL).


PSG will play the second leg of the 2023-24 UCL quarterfinals against FC Barcelona (Spain) at 4 a.m. on the 17th (Korean time) at the Estadi Olympic Luiz Kompanis in Barcelona, ​​Spain.

PSG is at a disadvantage as it lost 2-3 in the first leg of the quarterfinals held in Paris on the 11th. In the silence of captain Kylian Mbappe, the team lost by one goal in the home game and must win by at least two goals to advance to the semifinals.

Lee Kang-in started in the first game of the quarterfinals and played 61 minutes, but was unable to increase his attack points. Coincidentally, after Lee Kang-in left as a substitute, the team suffered a come-from-behind defeat by conceding two goals in a row.

Lee Kang-in's condition isn't bad recently. Lee Kang-in is recording 1 goal and 1 assist in UCL this season, and has 4 goals and 3 assists across all games.

He recorded an assist with an exquisite pass to Mbappe in the second leg of the UCL round of 16 against Real Sociedad (Spain). Above all, Lee Kang-in has the advantage of being familiar with the Spanish stage and players, having previously played for Valencia and Mallorca.

Meanwhile, France's L'Equipe also expressed interest in meeting Lee Kang-in and Ferran Torres (Barcelona), who played together in Valencia (Spain) in the past.

The media said, “Torres and Lee Kang-in have been close colleagues since their youth at Valencia,” and added, “Now, the two will face each other on the field as enemies.”

Torres played for Valencia until 2020, then moved to Manchester City (England) and has been playing for Barca since 2022. He plays with the number '7' on his back, symbolizing an ace. He was born in 2001 and is one year older than Lee Kang-in. Lee Kang-in left Valencia in the summer of 2021, spent two seasons at Mallorca, and wore a PSG uniform last summer.

PSG coach Luis Enrique, who led the 'triple crown' with Barça in the past, was confident of a comeback victory in the second game against his former team. As manager of Barcelona in the 2014-15 season, he experienced the UCL title and the Spanish Primera Liga title.

Coach Enrique said, "We haven't won since losing the first leg, but this will be that day. It will be a tough game, but I am confident we will turn the situation around."

Barca coach Xavi Hernández said, "It is clear that PSG will fight back fiercely," but added, "We must win. We need the support of our home fans in difficult moments."
