Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone hailed the decisive impact of his bench after second-half substitutes Lee Kang-in and Alex Baena inspired a 2-0 win against Malaga. The duo struck sensational goals after the break to secure all three points in their La Liga opener at the Metropolitano, overcoming a sluggish first-half performance on Wednesday.
Atletico Madrid have completed the sensational €35 million (£30m/$40m) signing of South Korean international star Kang-in Lee from Paris Saint-Germain. The two-time Champions League winner arrives in the Spanish capital on a five-year deal and inherits the club's iconic number seven shirt.
Atletico Madrid have identified PSG midfielder Lee Kang-in as a key summer target as Diego Simeone looks to add more creativity to his squad. The South Korea international is reportedly keen on a return to Spain, while PSG are prepared to listen to offers if their €35 million (£30m/$40m) valuation is met.
Lee Kang-In could be set for a major career move as the Paris Saint-Germain star weighs up the possibility of leaving the European champions. The South Korean midfielder, who played a starring role in the UEFA Super Cup win over Tottenham, is attracting serious attention from Premier League giants Arsenal and Manchester United amid frustration over limited game time in Paris.
