PSG's back-up goalkeeper Matvei Safonov comes up clutch to save Champions League winners' blushes in Intercontinental Cup showdown with Flamengo

Forced off early Lee was forced off in the 35th minute of Wednesday's FIFA Intercontinental Cup final against Flamengo due to an apparent injury.

Impact Lee would have to leave the field early Wednesday as his club tries to take home another title this campaign, leaving with an apparent injury. This would be rough for the club as they lose a player over the winter break, although he will see around a month to recover. He has started in 11 of his 14 appearances this season, so this is something to monitor.

Delivers one assist in victory Lee assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 3-2 win versus Metz.

Impact Lee turned in a solid performance in Saturday's win over Metz, supplying an assist to Goncalo Ramos and consistently troubling the defense with his deliveries from both open play and set pieces. While the South Korean remains a rotation option when the squad is fully healthy, his versatility across multiple positions allows him to step in when starters are fatigued or sidelined. He now totals one goal and two assists in 19 appearances across all competitions this season.

Scores opener in 3-0 win Lee scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-0 win versus Le Havre.

Impact Lee scored the opening goal of the game as PSG won 3-0 at home to Le Havre. This was his first goal of the season, coming in his eighth start. He picked up his first assist of the league campaign against Lyon in the previous game. He created two chances, which made it 11 in the last three games, and he also put two shots on target for only the second time this season.

Excellent from wing Lee assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), six crosses (five accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 3-2 win against Lyon.

Impact For the first time this season, Lee started outside of his usual central midfield role and was pushed out wide to cover Paris Saint-Germain's right wing of a 4-3-3 formation. The Korean adapted well, getting 83.3 percent of his accurate crosses on target. More importantly, Lee logged his 2025-26 season's first assist on a last-minute goal scored by Joao Neves. Lee's statistical upside is limited in a sea of excellent PSG options, so him excelling regularly will be required for more big-time opportunities.

Fifteen crosses in loss Lee registered three shots (one on goal), 15 crosses (five accurate) and five corners in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat versus Bayern Munich.

Impact Lee came off the bench in the 25th minute to replace Ousmane Dembele (calf) and had a sensational outing against Bayern on Tuesday in the Champions League, likely delivering his best game under the colors of Paris Saint-Germain. The South Korean contributed to two impressive season highs with 15 crosses and seven chances created when PSG was pushing with one man up against the Bavarians. His interplay with Joao Neves created PSG's clearest late looks and earned him credit toward a larger role in the upcoming fixtures with Desire Doue (hamstring) out for a long time.

On bench Saturday Lee (illness) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Nice.

Impact Lee was sidelined for the Lorient match due to illness but trained fully on Thursday and is on the bench for Saturday's game against Nice. The midfielder remains a useful rotation piece for the Parisians, especially with Desire Doue (hamstring) out injured. If called upon, Lee could see a few opportunities open up in the coming matches.

NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Training in full Lee (illness) was spotted training in full on Thursday, according to ParisTeamFr.

Impact Lee missed the clash against Lorient due to illness but was training in full on Thursday which suggests he should be back available for Saturday's match against Nice. This is good news for the Parisians since he remains a solid midfield option in the rotation and with the injury of Desire Doue (hamstring) he could get a few chances in the coming fixtures.

Ruled out due to illness Lee is not available for Wednesday's clash against Lorient due to illness, according to Abdellah Boulma from Cahiers du Foot.

Impact Lee won't travel to Lorient with the squad on Wednesday as he is currently dealing with an illness and isn't available to play. The South Korean will hope to recover in time for Saturday's clash against Nice, although his absence won't impact the starting XI as he has mostly featured from the bench for PSG.

Three shots Saturday Lee registered three shots (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 3-0 win versus Brest.

Impact Lee was in the starting XI again Saturday after appearing off the bench in midweek UCL play, recording a decent 67 minutes of play. The midfielder recorded a chance created, two crosses and three shots, a solid performance despite no goal contributions. That said, he is still has yet to bag a goal contribution this campaign.

OCTOBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Created five chances at Lille Lee had four shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Lille.

Impact Lee led PSG with a season-high five chances created during the road draw. The midfielder also won the most duels (seven) and took the second-most shots for his side. That was his fourth start in eight overall appearances.

Option to face Atalanta Lee is available against Atalanta since he isn't mentioned in the injury report of Paris Saint-Germain, the club announced.

Impact Lee suffered a minor ankle injury in Sunday's win over Lens after scoring from the edge of the box. The issue proved to be minor since he is not mentioned in PSG's injury report and is therefore available for Wednesday's clash against Atalanta in the Champions League opener. This is good news as the South Korean will likely feature during the game with the injuries in PSG's frontline.

Suffers apparent knee injury Lee has suffered an apparent knee injury in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Lens, according to L'Equipe.

Impact Lee was forced off in the 57th minute of Sunday's victory due to an apparent ankle injury suffered after taking a shot at the edge of the box. The South Korean will be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of his injury and whether he will miss Wednesday's Champions League opener against Atalanta. His absence would be a blow since Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (undisclosed) is questionable for the game and both Ousmane Dembele (hamstring) and Desire Doue (calf) are already out against the Italians, leaving few options in the frontline with only Ibrahima Mbaye as a likely replacement if they all miss out.

After routing Real Madrid in Club World Cup, PSG eyes Chelsea and historic quadruple

Paris Saint-Germain routed Real Madrid 4-0 in a Club World Cup semifinal, moving closer to a historic quadruple

JULY 10, 2025 • Associated Press

Completes second season with PSG Lee started in 19 of his 30 appearances while notching six goals on 41 shots and six assists on 57 chances created in Ligue 1.

Impact Lee saw his second season with PSG pass in yet another rotational role, starting in around half of their matches while appearing in nearly every single league game. He would improve on his stats as well, recording 12 goal contributions compared to his seven in his first year with the club. He seems to be behind a decent pecking order of players, and his role doesn't seem likely to grow anytime soon, especially after he only appeared in four of their final 13 games, possibly falling out of his role a bit as we enter the new season.

Fit for bench Lee (undisclosed) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Arsenal.

Impact Lee appears to have only been dealing with a minor injury after his removal at halftime of the club's last contest, as he is missing no time and is immediately back on the team sheet. He will likely remain in this role if the club continues to the finals and is unlikely to see much time, having not appeared in four of their past five games.

Makes squad list Lee (undisclosed) is included in the squad list for Wednesday's second leg clash against Arsenal in the semi-final of the Champions League.

Impact Lee trained with the team on Tuesday following the knock that forced him off at the break against Strasbourg on Saturday, suggesting he has already recovered from that issue. This is encouraging news since the South Korean could potentially come off the bench against the Gunners if called upon to contribute, particularly on set pieces given his ability in that area.

Impact Lee will try to train with the team on Tuesday morning to test himself after the knock he received on Sunday against Strasbourg. If deemed fit enough, he will likely make the squad for Wednesday's clash against the Gunners. If he cannot figure in the list, his absence will not impact the starting XI since he has mainly been a bench option this season for PSG.

Exits injured Lee was taken off at halftime of Saturday's match against PSG due to an apparent injury.

Impact Lee looks to have suffered an injury right before halftime Saturday, as he was taken off following the break. This was his first appearance in two matches, so this is unfortunate for the attacker. He will hope to be fit in time for Wednesday's UCL second leg against Arsenal, although he was likely to only be a bench option for that contest. He was replaced by Desire Doue.

MAY 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Key pass in draw Lee assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Tuesday's 1-1 draw versus Nantes.

Impact Lee's deft touch setup the opening goal of the match Tuesday for Paris Saint-Germain before Nantes leveled late in the second half to conclude the 1-1 draw. The assist was his sixth of the campaign, matching his previous career-best for assists in a top flight European league which he set with Mallorca during the 2022-2023 La Liga season. After missing four fixtures (all competitions) with an ankle injury, the midfielder has started in each of PSG's last two fixtures, creating five chances. Lee has not played a full 90 minutes since January.
