Mini Korea-Japan match will take place in Champs, not in the Asian Cup

 Top technicians representing Korea and Japan, Lee Kang-in and Takefusa Kubo, will clash in the Champions League.

PSG will play the first leg of the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League Round of 16 against Real Sociedad at 5 a.m. on the 15th at Parc des Princes, the home ground of Paris, France.

Lee Kang-in vs. Gubo`s best friend match is drawing keen attention. The next-generation ace, who represents Korea and Japan, is close as the two players played together while playing in Mallorca. The two players also said, "See you in the final!" at the Asian Cup. However, Japan was eliminated in the quarterfinals and Korea lost in the semifinals, failing to have a showdown.

Real Sociedad announced on Wednesday that it has agreed to extend the contract with Kubo through the 2028-2029 season. He has tied up Kubo with a long-term contract, which has shown great performance with six goals and three assists this season.

"Transfermarkt," a soccer statistics magazine, put Gubo's current market value at 60 million euros. It is tied for No. 1 in Asia along with Kim Min-jae Bayern Munich. It surpasses the ransom of Son Heung-min, who is valued at 50 million euros, and his "best friend" Lee Kang-in Paris Saint-Germain who is worth 22 million euros.

Lee Kang-in is also doing well. The Asian Football Confederation AFC announced on its official social media account on the 13th Korea Standard Time that the best 11 players were selected as the best performers in the 2023 Qatar Asian Cup, which recently closed. Lee Kang-in is the only Korean player to be named. 토토사이트

Lee Kang-in was active with three goals and one assist in the tournament, contributing to the 3-1 victory against Bahrain with multiple goals. I wonder how Lee Kang-in, who is one step ahead of Gubo due to the transfer to PSG, will fare in the showdown at Champs. The "mini-Korea-Japan match" is drawing as much attention as the national match.
