Lee Kang-in Paris Saint-Germain, PSG and Takefusa Real Sociedad, both of whom were born in 2001 and the same age as each other, will have a showdown over their pride. They will play in the round of 16 strongest teams in the UEFA Champions League.

Lee Kang-in and Gubo were naturally confirmed to face off in the round of 16 as PSG and Real Sociedad were formed at the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League round of 16 draw held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland on the 18th.

Earlier, PSG finished Group F in second place 2 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses, 8 points and Real Sociedad passed Group D in first place 3 wins, 3 draws, 12 points. The round of 16 matches will be held through a lottery, with the first and second places in each group, and PSG and Real Sociedad will compete.

Lee Kang-in left during the Valencia youth team and Gubo during the Barcelona youth team.

Lee Kang-in and Gubo, who have been attracting attention as the future of Korean and Japanese soccer since childhood, are of the same age and have been active on the Spanish stage early.

They built a Korea-Japan friendship while working together on and off the ground.

In particular, the two celebrated each other’s birthdays openly on social media. This was the same even after Gubo left for Real Sociedad. Gubo shared a picture with Lee Kang-in, writing “Happy birthday, Hermano” in Korean, and Lee Kang-in also didn’t forget about Gubo’s birthday.

Lee Kang-in’s relationship with Kubo in Spain seemed to be taking a break due to Lee’s transfer to PSG. However, as they faced each other in the round of 16 teams in the UEFA Champions League, which is also the “War of the Stars,” they will face off in a friendship showdown.
