Lee Kang-in (25) added a 10th championship title to his career after joining Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

On the 14th (Korean time), PSG defeated RC Lens 2-0 in a rescheduled 2025-2026 Ligue 1 Round 29 match held at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens, France.

PSG broke the deadlock with an early goal by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the 29th minute of the first half, and striker Ibrahima Mbaye, born in 2008, scored a late goal in stoppage time of the second half.

With this victory, PSG recorded 76 points (24 wins, 4 draws, 5 losses) with one Ligue 1 match remaining, extending their lead over second-place Lens (67 points) to nine points and securing the Ligue 1 title.

PSG's Ligue 1 championship marks five consecutive titles since the 2021-2022 season and their 14th overall (most in history).

Lee Kang-in, whose ankle injury was announced by PSG the day before the match, was unable to even make the substitute bench and could not share in the team's championship moment.

Nevertheless, Lee Kang-in contributed to the team's Ligue 1 title this season by appearing in 26 matches, recording three goals and four assists.

With PSG's Ligue 1 championship secured, Lee Kang-in has now experienced a remarkable 10th title since joining the club. Including the Copa del Rey (King's Cup) from his Valencia days, this marks his 11th career championship.

Wearing the PSG jersey, Lee Kang-in has added three Ligue 1 titles, two Coupe de France (French Cup) titles, two Trophée des Champions (Super Cup) titles, and titles from the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Champions League (UCL), UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Intercontinental Cup to his career.

PSG is also set to face Arsenal (England) in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) final on the 31st, meaning the number of championship titles for both PSG and Lee Kang-in could increase further.

Lee Kang-in, who was expected to undergo indoor training only for the time being due to injury during the previous match against Brest, plans to join the South Korean national football team, led by coach Hong Myung-bo, after participating in the UCL final, with a move to the United States scheduled for early June.
