Lee Kang-in

Lee Kang-in made 11 UEFA Champions League appearances as Paris Saint-Germain won the club's first title in 2025, then another 10 as Paris retained the trophy in 2026. Those figures define the personal contribution more accurately than the medals alone. The South Korean international was part of two completed European campaigns, but his minutes varied and he was not the principal driver of either final. That distinction is essential. Lee's case concerns documented first-team participation across consecutive title seasons, not ownership of the collective result.

Lee remains a Paris Saint-Germain player and a member of the South Korea national team. At club level, his current responsibility is to stay ready for selection inside a squad competing at the highest European level and to contribute when used across a long tournament schedule. Eleven appearances in the first campaign and ten in the defence establish continued involvement rather than ceremonial squad membership. They do not make his role equal to the starting core, nor do they turn two team trophies into an individual achievement. The selection records the narrower fact with precision: Lee appeared 21 times across back-to-back Champions League-winning seasons. That is substantive professional work in an exceptional competitive setting, even though it carries less individual attribution than a decisive goal, assist or a season of dominant production. Paris's titles remain shared achievements of the squad, coaching staff and club; Lee's appearances establish the part that can be assigned to him.
