Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) finished the first half with a 3-1 victory over FC Mes in the 17th round of the 2023-24 French Ligue 1 at Parc des Princes in Paris, France on the 21st.
PSG did not win the match against Borussia Dortmund and Lille, both in a draw last time. The last match of the first half, against Messe, was important for them, who had no win in two consecutive games, and they were able to collect three points in the end.
At the center of victory was Vitinha, the hero of the first goal, and Mbappe, who scored multiple goals to celebrate his birthday. And Lee Kang-in's great cross also shone.
Lee Kang-in was placed on the left side in the match against Messe and started. Until the first half, he did not shine much. He had a great pass to Mbappe and Barcola, but he did not lead to a goal.
In addition, he is Lee Kang-in, who has not had fun on the left side all season. Eventually, in the second half, he moved to the right and began to perform properly.
