Becoming the 4th Korean player to win the top 5 European leagues
French professional soccer team Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), the team of Lee Kang-in, the ‘next generation star’ in Korean soccer, achieved three consecutive wins in French Ligue 1.
PSG confirmed this season’s championship when AS Monaco lost 2-3 to Lyon in the 2023-2024 Ligue 1 round 31 match held at Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Lyon, France on the 29th (Korean time).
PSG, the league leader, drew 3-3 with Le Havre the day before and recorded 70 points. On this day, second-place Monaco lost and remained at 58 points, and PSG, which maintained a 12-point lead, confirmed first place in the league regardless of the results of the remaining three games.
As a result, PSG stood at the top of the league for three consecutive seasons following the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 seasons. This is the 12th win in total.
PSG, the team with the most wins in Ligue 1 history, won the 50th trophy in the club’s history across various competitions.
Lee Kang-in, wearing the PSG uniform this season, enjoyed the joy of winning the five major European leagues (England, Germany, Spain, Italy, and France).
Lee Kang-in is the fourth Korean player to be named as a member of the top five European league winners, following Park Ji-sung, Jung Woo-young (Stuttgart), and Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich).
Ji-Sung Park played for Manchester United and won the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2006-2007, 2007-2008, 2008-2009, and 2010-2011 seasons.
Jung Woo-young tasted victory at Bayern Munich in the German Bundesliga in the 2018-2019 season. Minjae Kim played as Napoli’s main defender in the 2022-2023 season and contributed to winning the Italian Serie A.
Lee Kang-in, who played for Valencia and Mallorca in Spain and wore the PSG uniform this season, had previously only won a cup competition.
In the 2018-2019 season, his team, Valencia, was at the top of the Copa del Rey (Spanish King’s Cup). Lee Kang-in led PSG to victory in this season’s French Super Cup, Trepe des Champions, by scoring the winning goal.
Lee Kang-in is recording 4 goals and assists in official games this season, including 2 goals and 3 assists in PSG, 1 goal and 1 assist in the UEFA Champions League (UCL), and 1 goal in the Super Cup.
PSG is in the finals of the Coupe de France (French Cup) this season, and has the potential to add to the trophy by advancing to the semifinals of the UCL. They can aim to win up to four awards this season.
PSG will play the UCL semifinals against Dortmund (Germany) home and away on the 2nd and 8th of next month. On May 25th, they will face Lyon in the Coupe de France final.
Meanwhile, Monaco, whose championship was thwarted by defeat on this day, continues to compete for rankings with 3rd place Brest (56 points) and 4th place Lille (55 points).
