Lee Kang-in (25)'s team Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is on alert for the championship competition. He slipped greatly after suffering a painful defeat on the road.
PSG lost 1-3 to Stade Rennes in the 22nd round of the French League in the 2025-2026 season at Roazon Parc in Rennes, France on the 14th (Korea Standard Time).
With the defeat, the leading PSG will lose 16 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses (51 points).
It's on the verge of a reversal. If second-place Lance (49 points), who played one less game, wins the match against Paris FC on the 15th, PSG will lose the first place. On the other hand, Ren, who won, jumped to fifth place with nine wins, seven draws and six losses (34 points).
Lee Kang-in started the game on the replacement list. Lee Kang-in, who was substituted in the 15th minute of the second half when he was pushed back to 0-1, performed very well in both directions, including two key passes and two successful dribbles (100% each), but did not prevent the team's loss, which was greatly shaken by its defense.
On the same day, Luis Enrique deployed a 4-3-3 formation with Usman Dembele at the center and Khvicha Kvaratshelia and Desire Doue at the offensive end.
Contrary to expectations, the home team Ren took the lead in the game. Esteban LePaul's shot hit the post in the 6th minute of the first half, and eventually scored the first goal in the 34th minute.
Musa Altamari inserted a dagger into PSG. Altamari shook the PSG net with a sharp left footed shot from outside the box.
He is also familiar to Korean fans. Altamari is the Jordanian national ace who scored one goal and one assist against the South Korean national team led by former coach Jurgen Klinsmann in the semifinals of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup.
PSG, which finished the first half trailing 0-1, failed to bear fruit even though it launched an offensive at the beginning of the second half. In the 15th minute of the second half, coach Enrique put in Lee Kang-in and Bradley Barcola at the same time, excluding Kvaratshelia and Due.
Lee Kang-in showed active movement by going around the ground for about 30 minutes after putting in. According to soccer statistics media 'Foot Mob', Lee Kang-in recorded a high pass success rate (17/18) of 94%. Lee Kang-in's rating was 6.9 points.
However, PSG collapsed in the 24th minute of the second half by giving LePaul an additional header goal. Two minutes later, in the 26th minute of the second half, Dembele scored a comeback goal with a header to save the spark of the chase, but was completely defeated in the 36th minute of the second half by Brill Embolo.
PSG launched a total offensive with a whopping 22 shots on the day, but failed to win points in the end due to Ren's efficient counterattack.
