Regarding the moment of Lee Kang-in (25)'s replacement, foreign media said, "It's a relief for Chelsea."

PSG won 5-2 at home in the first leg of the round of 16 of the "2025-2026 UEFA Champions League" against Chelsea at Parc des Princes in Paris, France on the 12th (Korea time).

PSG, which is trying to win its second consecutive UCL title following its first UCL victory last season, has gained an advantage in advancing to the quarterfinals. In addition, PSG, which lost to Chelsea in the FIFA Club World Cup final in July last year, succeeded in avenging it.

Lee Kang-in, who started the game on the bench, stepped on the ground instead of Usman Dembele in the 24th minute of the second half, but failed to score an offensive point. Lee Kang-in, who played in eight games as a substitute in UCL this season, has yet to score goals and help.

Local officials noted Dembele's overwhelming performance, which threatened Chelsea's defense throughout the first half while reporting Lee Kang-in's substitution. The British 'Guardian' highlighted the moment Lee Kang-in stepped on the ground on behalf of Dembele and described, "It's fortunate for Chelsea that Dembele is out and Lee Kang-in came in."

Rather than devaluing Lee Kang-in's skills, Dembele's presence was that great, threatening the opponent's side with his fierce speed and breakthrough power by scoring a goal earlier.

On this day, PSG set up the starting attackers not Lee Kang-in, but Dembele, Bradley Barcola, and Desiree Duero. The midfield consisted of João Neves, Vitinya and Warren Zaire Emery.

PSG led with Barcola's first goal 10 minutes into the first half. Gusto was allowed to equalize in the 28th minute of the first half, but Dembele shot past the opponent's defense after breaking through the dribble alone in the 40th minute of the first half to shake the net. PSG finished the first half with a 2-1 lead.

Chelsea's counterattack was strong in the second half. PSG took out a replacement card when Enzo Fernandez scored an equalizer in the 13th minute of the second half. Khvicha Kbaratshelia and Lee Kang-in were deployed one after another to try to change their offense.

The replacement card was a perfect fit. Kvaratshelia's 'One Man Show' took place. Vitinha scored in the 29th minute of the second half, helped by Kvaratshelia. In the 41st minute of the second half, Kvaratshelia's exquisite right-footed mid-range shot shook the net.

In the 45th minute of the second half, Lee Kang-in's shot into the empty net shook the net, but it was ruled offside and was not recognized as a score. In the second half of extra time, Kvaratshelia scored a net goal to complete the 5-2 victory.
