Will national soccer team midfielder Lee Kang-in lead his team Paris Saint-Germain (PSG, France) to advance to the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) in the 2023-2024 season?

PSG will play an away game against Borussia Dortmund (Germany) at Signal Iduna Park in Germany at 5 a.m. on the 14th (Korean time) in the final 6th game of Group F of the tournament.

In Group F, known as the 'Group of Death', PSG is in second place (7 points) following leader Dortmund (10 points).

In UCL, the top two from each group advance to the round of 16. Third place goes down to the Europa League, the competition one level below. The lowest score is elimination.

Advancement to the round of 16 is advantageous, but we cannot be at ease. The point difference between 3rd place Newcastle United (England) and last place AC Milan (5 points above Italy) is only 2 points.

If PSG wins against Dortmund, it will advance to the round of 16 as first place in the group, but if it draws or loses, it will have to consider a number of complicated cases depending on the result of the Newcastle-AC Milan game.

PSG, which was acquired by Qatari capital in 2011, has never been eliminated from the UCL group stage since then.

For a victory against Dortmund, the collaboration between leading strikers Kylian Mbappe and Lee Kang-in is more important than ever.

Lee Kang-in finished the warm-up by appearing as a starter in the regular league game against Nantes on the 10th and helping them win 2-1. He recently received a lot of trust from coach Luis Enrique by playing in three consecutive official games.

Unless there are major variables in the match against Dortmund, Lee Kang-in is likely to start.

Lee Kang-in, who started as a starter in the 5th game of the UCL group stage (1-1 draw) against Newcastle on the 29th of last month and played until the 37th minute of the second half, left a strong impression in offense and defense.

Although he has no offensive points recently, he is serving as the starting point of the attack with his sharp left foot.

In addition, the fact that Ousmane Dembele, his position rival, will miss the Dortmund match due to accumulated yellow cards also raises expectations for Lee Kang-in.
