Reunited with Muriki, who was absent due to injury, in the stands.
Lee Kang-in, a national soccer team midfielder who plays for French professional soccer team Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), visited his former team Mallorca (Spain).
Lee Kang-in watched the 2023-2024 Spanish Primera Liga regular season between Mallorca and Cadiz held at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix, the home stadium of Mallorca, Spain, on the 30th (Korean time).
This is the first time Lee Kang-in, who moved to PSG last summer, visited Mallorca Stadium.
The day before, Lee Kang-in started as a starter in the 5th match of the 2023-2024 UEFA Champions League (UCL) group stage against Newcastle United (England) and played about 82 minutes, helping the team to a 1-1 draw.
Lee Kang-in, who received a short vacation after the Newcastle match, flew to Mallorca and reunited with his old teammates.
Lee Kang-in, wearing glasses, met Mallorca striker Vedat Muriqi, who he worked with last season, in the stands and watched the game together.
The Mallorca club also posted a video of Lee Kang-in and Muriki meeting through social networking services (SNS) and wrote, “A very special reunion.”
Mallorca, which ranked 9th in La Liga last season with Lee Kang-in at the helm, is in a slump this season.
After playing 14 regular league games, they are currently ranked 17th out of 20 teams with 1 win, 7 draws, and 6 losses (10 points). They are only 2 points behind 18th-place Celta Vigo (8 points), which is in the relegation zone.
After Lee Kang-in’s transfer, they were unable to find a suitable replacement, and even their main scorer, Muriki, recently fell due to injury, which has shaken them greatly.
On this day as well, they were dragged against Cadiz by giving up the first goal in the 12th minute of the first half, but managed to draw with Abdon Pratz’s equalizer in extra time in the first half.
Meanwhile, Lee Kang-in will play an away game against Le Havre in the 14th round of the French Ligue 1 in the 2023-2024 season on the 3rd of next month. 스포츠토토맨
