Will Lee Kang-in of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) be able to start in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals against Barcelona in China? Local media have predicted high possibility for Lee to start one after another.

PSG will have its first match against Barcelona in the 2023-24 UCL quarterfinals at the Paris Parc des Princes on the morning of the 11th. It is also the first reunion in three years since the UCL round of 16 teams in the 2020-21 season.

Fans are focusing on whether Lee Kang-in will be selected or not. Having played in a rather irregular format recently, Lee took the bench in the previous league match against Clermont and played for about 20 minutes. It could also be seen as PSG coach Luis Enrique's rotation, which takes into account UCL matches during weekdays.

Local media in France also predicted the possibility of Lee Kang-in being selected. First of all, French media Le Parisien said on the 7th, "Three completely different types of players are competing: Gonzalo Hamus, Randal Colo-Muani and Lee Kang-in. At the moment, it is difficult to say who will take the position. However, Enrique's coaches evaluate Lee Kang-in as ahead of them." The media predicted that Lee Kang-in will take the lead with Usman Dembélé and Kylian Mbappé. Fabian Luis, Vittinha, and Warren Zaire will play in the midfield, while Nunu Mendes, Lucas Veraldu, Luca Hernández, Marquignos and Gianluigi Donnarumma will play in the defense. Archraf Hakimi is unable to play in the first round of the quarterfinals due to accumulated warnings.

Just a day later, French L'Equipe also predicted Lee Kang-in's selection. The media also predicted the composition of the front and center like Le Parisien. The only difference was the defense, which argued that there was a possibility that Zaire-Emery could play as a right-back. As both Marquinos and Zaire-Emery can defend on the right, it is expected to depend on Enrique's choice in this part.

UEFA, on the other hand, predicted that Bradley Barcola would be selected instead of Lee Kang-in. However, Barcola only returned to training after suffering a hamstring injury during the A-match period in March. Given the absence period, chances are slim for Barcola to play in the upcoming match.

Recently, PSG started out as a 4-3-1-2 player, and Lee Kang-in is connecting opportunities to Dembele and Mbappe as he travels to the familiar right-hand area. Attention is focusing on whether this can be seen in the match against Barcelona.

Meanwhile, Lee Kang-in played in five games against Barcelona, with only one draw and four losses. He failed to win last season when his skills were in full bloom at Mallorca. Lee Kang-in is seeking revenge at UCL.  실시간 바카라사이트

"I knew that we would meet a quality team at this tournament. We need to show that we have made progress on the field," Enrique told UEFA ahead of the match.
