Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), where Lee Kang-in (25) played for a short time, overpowered Liverpool, a "rampant."

PSG won 2-0 at home in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the "2025-2026 UEFA Champions League" against Liverpool at Parc des Princes in Paris, France on the 9th (Korea Standard Time).

As a result, PSG has gained an advantage in reaching the semifinals even if it loses by a goal in the second leg away to Anfield on the 15th.

PSG coach Luis Enrique put Lee Kang-in on the bench and started Usman Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratshelia and Desiree Doue in the front-line three-top. Warren Zaire Emery, Vitinha and João Neves were also in charge of the midfield.

Lee Kang-in was replaced in the 33rd minute of the second half and played about 12 minutes until the end of the game. Lee Kang-in's performance was intense even during his short playing time. There were only 13 ball touches, but three of them were connected with key passes.

In particular, the assist was unfortunately canceled in the 42nd minute of the second half in the counterattack situation. Lee Kang-in saw Dembele returning to the back and connected the pass accurately, but Dembele's shot hit the post.

PSG, the "defending champion," overwhelmed Liverpool in its performance on the day. PSG had many shots 18-3 and did not allow a single effective shot.

PSG scored the first goal 10 minutes into the first half. Desire Due, who caught the ball from the right side outside the penalty box, beat the defender with a personal talent and hit a right-footed shot. The ball deflected off Ryan Hravernberg's foot and went into the goal.

PSG, which finished 1-0 in the first half, scored an additional goal midway through the second half and ran away further. In the 20th minute of the second half, Kvaratshelia, who received João Neves' forward pass, broke through recklessly and calmly shot past the Liverpool goalkeeper to break through the net.

PSG pushed after that, but the game ended with a 2-0 complete victory by PSG without any additional goals.
