Manchester United icon Park Ji-sung has backed Lee Kang-in to become an Atletico Madrid legend following his high-profile move from Paris Saint-Germain. The former midfielder believes his compatriot is the finest technical talent South Korea has ever produced, tipping the playmaker to step out of Antoine Griezmann's shadow and make his own history.
La Liga's Technical Committee of Referees (CTA) has reportedly acknowledged a massive error during Atletico Madrid's fiery 2-1 derby victory over Real Madrid, after match official Miguel Angel Ortiz Arias and the VAR team failed to punish Lee Kang-in for a brutal challenge that left Federico Valverde with severe ankle trauma.

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.

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.
