Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), where Lee Kang-in (25) was absent, reached the semifinals of the "War of Stars."

PSG won 2-0 with Usman Dembele's multi-goal in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the "2025-2026 UEFA Champions League" against Liverpool at Anfield in Liverpool, England on the 15th (Korea time).

PSG, which won 2-0 at home in the first round, also won the second round without losing a point and reached the semifinals of the tournament with a total score of 4-0 in the first and second rounds.

Last year's winner, PSG, will face the winner of Bayern Munich-Real Madrid in the semifinals. Munich, where Kim Min-jae plays, won 2-1 in the first leg of the quarterfinals to gain an advantage in advancing to the semifinals. In the semifinals, Lee Kang-in and Kim Min-jae may play a "Korean Derby."

On this day, Lee Kang-in was listed as a substitute, but he was not able to play, so he swallowed his regret. Coach Luis Enrique started Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratshelia and Desiree Doue as the front-line three-top. The second-tier Warren Zaire Emery, Vitinha, and João Neves made up Lee Kang-in's position.

PSG, which had the upper hand by shooting a total of eight times in the first half, scored the first goal 27 minutes into the second half. Dembele, who caught the ball behind the arc circle, beat the Liverpool player with his personal skills and shot with his left foot to shake the net.

Dembele, who raised his sense of goal, completed a multi-goal in extra time in the second half. Bradley Barcola, who dug to the left of the penalty box, poked a pass to the center and Dembele kicked it right away to finish. The match ended with PSG's 2-0 win.

Footmob, which specializes in soccer statistics, gave Dembele a game-high rating of 9.2. Only Dembele and PSG goalkeeper Matvei Saponov (8.5) were rated above 8 points.
