This season, PSG were consistently picked as a strong ‘winner’ in Ligue 1. Last summer, Lionel Messi and Neymar left for Inter Miami and Al Hilal, respectively, but ‘superstar’ Kylian Mbappe stayed, and through the Transfer market, Lee Kang-in, Gonzalo Hamus, Randal Kolo Muani, Lucas Hernández, and Manuel Ugar were added. This is because the squad has been strengthened by the recruitment of Te, Milan Skriniar, and Ousmane Dembele.
As expected, PSG were powerful. After going undefeated in 4 games (2 wins, 2 draws) since the opening of Ligue 1, they faltered for a while as they failed to score a point in the 5th round match against OGC Nice (2-3 losses), but PSG have gone undefeated in 26 games (18 wins, 8 draws). And in the end, they secured their championship early with three games remaining, and managed to win their third League 1 title in a row.
Lee Kang-in enjoyed the joy of winning the league for the first time. Lee Kang-in has won the cup competition twice so far. In the 2018-2019 season, he won the Copa del Rey (King of Spain’s Cup) with Valencia and the Trophy des Champions with PSG this season. In addition, Lee Kang-in is the fourth Korean player to win the top five European leagues (England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France), following Park Ji-sung, Jung Woo-young, and Kim Min -yeah.
Now, PSG are aiming for a ‘quadruple’ (four wins). PSG are in the final of the Coupe de France (French FA Cup). The opponent is Olympique Lyonnais. They have also progressed to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League (UCL). The opponent is Borussia Dortmund. If PSG defeat Dortmund and progress to the finals, they will clash with Real Madrid or Bayern Munich for the ‘Big Year’ (the name of the UCL championship trophy).
