Spanish Expert Claims, Lee Kang-in-Mbappe at PSG? Barca’s Squad Is Better
Kylian Mbappe (26) and Lee Kang-in 23, PSG were mentioned, but FC Barcelona evaluated them as one level.
“Spanish soccer experts claimed that FC Barcelona’s squad was superior to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).”
UEFA held a draw for the quarterfinals of the 2023-2024 UEFA Champions League in Nyon, Switzerland, on the 15th.
It is the round of 16, where there were not many unexpected events. All the teams considered as favorites won the round of 16. Manchester City advanced to the quarterfinals by continuing its winning streak from the group stage. Real Madrid, the most winning team in the Champions League, also beat RB Leipzig to reach the quarterfinals.
Teams with Korean nationality also advanced to the quarterfinals. Lee Kang-in’s PSG beat Real Sodiedad, where Takefusa Kubo plays, by winning two consecutive games. Bayern Munich under Kim Min-jae advanced to the quarterfinals by beating out SS Lazio. After losing 0-1 in the first leg of the round of 16, Munich secured a 3-0 win in the second leg at home and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
Last season’s Spanish La Liga champion FC Barcelona beat Italian Serie A champion SSC Napoli to advance to the quarterfinals. Arsenal, who took the lead in the Premier League championship race, advanced to the next round after a neck-and-neck race with FC Porto until the penalty shootout. Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund also advanced to the quarterfinals by beating Inter Milan and PSV Eindhoven, respectively, at home.
As a result of the draw, Lee Kang-in and PSG will face off against Barcelona. Barcelona’s 2023-2024 season is unsettling, but it is true that it is a traditional powerhouse with five Champions League titles.
They are two teams with outstanding strikers. PSG advanced to the quarterfinals with Kylian Mbappe’s six goals, and Barcelona, though they have slowed down this season, have Roberto Lewandowski who can finish as soon as they need to.
According to reports, Rudovic-Giri, who played for both PSG and Barcelona, told Le Parisien that PSG could compete in a more advantageous position due to injuries to the Barcelona squad.
Jose Álvarez Hoya, a reporter for Spain’s “El Chiringito,” countered that Barcelona’s squad was better.
Reporter Alvarez said, “PSG actually had a great squad. There are Kylian Mbappe, Marco Asensio and Lee Kang-in. Vitinha is also a good player,” but stressed, “But Barcelona’s lineup is much better than PSG.”
The first match between the two teams will take place on April 11. PSG will invite Barcelona to its home turf of the Parc des Princes, before heading to Barcelona, Spain on April 17.
Meanwhile, Lee Kang-in arrived in Korea via Incheon International Airport on Wednesday. Lee, who joined the “Hwangseon Hongho,” will have a short time to share his story before the training session on Tuesday afternoon. 토토사이트
