Fans of Lee Kang-in (24, Paris Saint-Germain) caused a massive riot in Paris.
PSG will face Aston Villa in the first leg of the quarter-finals of the 2024-2025 UEFA Champions League on the morning of the 10th at 4 a.m. (Korean time) at Parc des Princes in Paris, France.
Ahead of the match, Luis Enrique, PSG's head coach, noted, "This is a team that is similar to us in having many versatile players. We have strengthened our squad well through the winter transfer market. It is difficult to predict who will start. It will be an open match for both teams, and it will be a tough contest."
It is expected to be Lee Kang-in's return match. Lee Kang-in injured his ankle during the A-match against Oman last month. After receiving treatment domestically, Lee Kang-in is expected to have his return match in about three weeks.
