A season to remember for Lee's PSG
AFC Kuala Lumpur Paris Saint-Germain's Lee Kang-in has become the second Korea Republic international to win the UEFA Champions League after his side routed Italian side Inter 5-0. The 24-year-old follows in the footsteps of Park Ji-sung, who won the 2008 trophy with Manchester United. Korea Republic international midfielder Lee Kang-in closed his 2024-25 season by winning a historic quadruple with PSG after they claimed the Champions League, the Ligue 1 title, the French Cup and French Super Cup. Lee, the 2019 AFC Youth Player of the Year, was on the pitch in 11 Champions League matches but was an unused substitute from the first leg of the quarter-finals onward and during the final. The Incheon-born Lee scored six times and made six assists in 30 Ligue 1 appearances in the 2024-25 season.

Inzaghi leaves Inter Milan amid Saudi Pro League interest
Simone Inzaghi has announced that he will leave Inter Milan following the Italian club's defeat in the Champions League final, and amid heavy interest in his services from the Saudi Pro League. The 5-0 rout by Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the final of European football's premier club competition on Saturday was Inzaghi's final game in charge of the Serie A runners-up. 'The time has come for me to say goodbye to this club after a run of four years during which I gave everything,' Inzaghi wrote in a letter to Inter fans on the club's website on Tuesday. The loss to PSG on Saturday marked the most lopsided defeat in the 70-year history of major European finals. Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal is reportedly trying to lure Inzaghi with an offer of more than 20 million euros ($23m) per season. Inzaghi coached Inter to the Serie A title last year, and was also in charge when the Nerazzurri lost the 2023 Champions League title to Manchester City. He was at Inter for exactly four years and had one more season remaining on his contract. It's unclear now who will coach Inter at the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States starting June 14. Inter opens against Monterrey on June 17 — a day before Al-Hilal opens against Real Madrid. There has been speculation that Inter would go after Cesc Fabregas, who coached Como to a 10th-place finish in Serie A. Inter finished second in the Italian league last month, one point behind champion Napoli. The Milan-based football club was in the running for a treble until it lost to city rival AC Milan in the Italian Cup semifinals in April. Having also been beaten by Milan in the Italian Super Cup final in Saudi Arabia in January, the Nerazzurri didn't win a trophy this season. The coaching change at Inter is just one of many managerial moves among the top Italian teams this off season, with Milan, Roma, Atalanta and others making changes.
