South Korea's "Golden Boy" Lee Kang-in (23) showed great performance, overturning local criticism. He led his team Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to a come-from-behind victory.
PSG beat AS Monaco 4-2 in away matches in round 16 of the 2024-2025 French League 1 at Louis II Stadium in Monaco, France on Sunday (Korea time). PSG laughed at the end of a slugfest with 1-0→1-2→4-2. With the victory, PSG continued its unbeaten streak of 16 matches in the league with 12 wins and four draws (40 points). Above all, it beat Monaco, which is engaged in a battle for the lead, to increase its possibility of winning the title. Monaco, ranking third, has nine wins, three draws and four losses (30 points).

Lee Kang-in played a big role in the team's victory. He scored an accurate cross on the day to help "team striker" Gonzalo Hamus score the final goal. In the 38th minute of the second half, when they were tying 2-2, Lee Kang-in scored a sharp left-footed cross, and Hamus shook the net with a header using a high RBI. In addition, Lee Kang-in recorded one shot, one key pass, and one dribble breakthrough.

In the second half extra time, he even shot a fantastic shot. However, Lee Kang-in's shot hit the post following the goalkeeper's super save and swallowed the disappointment. It was a great performance.

Thanks to this, PSG managed to catch Monaco, a tricky opponent from the enemy territory. Not only Hamus but also French striker Usman Dembele scored multiple goals. He also scored the first goal for Desiree Doue, who has shown outstanding performance in recent years.

In fact, Lee Kang-in was in a mini slump. He is constantly getting chances to start this season, but he was disappointed in terms of his recent performance.
French local media also criticized. Earlier on the 18th, LeQuipe pointed out, "Lee Kang-in is showing disappointing performance, but he still enjoys the trust of PSG coach Luis Enrique," adding, "Lee Kang-in is ahead of his other teammates in efficiency in front of the goal, but he does not make much difference in the right winger position. There are almost always many crosses or passes in the same pattern due to limited dribbling options and lack of power. He is showing predictable plays."

However, Lee reversed his criticism against him just one day later. Lee started the game on the bench, but he played a critical role in his victory by substituting him in the 20th minute of the second half and assisting the finishing goal after playing for only 25 minutes. European soccer statistics magazine Huscoordcom gave Lee a high rating of 7.14. Footmob also had a good rating of 7.0. 안전놀이터

The French team also praised Lee once again. Le Parisien said, "Harmus scored a goal from Lee Kang-in's corner to subdue the match." The French media also praised Lee Kang-in and Hamus for making the third goal to give the team the lead. After the match, Enrique said, "We have young players and we are growing. We don't depend on just one player. It's quite a positive part."
