20 Aug
Summary
- Lee Kang-in scored his debut goal for Atletico Madrid.
- He was named Man of the Match in the season opener.
- Lee joined Atletico after winning trophies with PSG.
Korean midfielder Lee Kang-in has made an immediate impact for Atletico Madrid, scoring his first goal for the club in their season-opening 2-0 win against Malaga CF. The midfielder, who came on as a substitute in the 57th minute, broke the deadlock in the 70th minute with a powerful left-footed shot. He was subsequently awarded Man of the Match for his pivotal performance.
Lee's arrival at Atletico Madrid in late July followed a three-year period with Paris Saint-Germain, where he achieved significant success, including three Ligue 1 titles and two UEFA Champions League titles. This move marks a return to Spain for the 25-year-old international, who spent his formative years in the country with Valencia CF's youth academy.
Having expressed his desire to contribute to Atletico Madrid's trophy ambitions, Lee's debut goal is a promising start. Atletico Madrid aims to add to their 11 La Liga titles, the most recent being in 2021, and pursue their first-ever UEFA Champions League title.
