The emotional reunion of Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in

Son and Lee are about to become rivals.

PSG and Tottenham are the Champions League and Europa League champions respectively. As is tradition, the two clubs will face each other in the European Super Cup, which takes place in August. This is a good opportunity for Son Heung-min to face his junior Lee Kang-in on the pitch.

Despite not shining in the Europa League final, Son still played an important role in Tottenham's journey to the championship. He scored 3 goals and contributed 1 assist for Spurs in this tournament.

In contrast to Son, Lee Kang-in has mostly played as a substitute for PSG. He was named in the club's reserve squad for the Champions League final against Inter Milan on June 1, but did not play a single minute. After 11 appearances in this arena, Lee has not scored or provided an assist.

Lee, however, was luckier than Son, becoming the second Korean player to win the Champions League. Before Lee, only one Asian player had won the Champions League, Park Ji-sung, who played for Manchester United in the 2007/08 season. However, the former player did not play in the final against Chelsea, and was not even on the bench.

Before Lee, Son was the last Asian player to appear in a Champions League final. But he and Tottenham suffered a 0-2 defeat to Liverpool in 2019.

The future of both Son and Lee is a big question mark in this summer transfer window. As for Lee, he is no longer in coach Luis Enrique's plans. PSG has set the transfer fee for the Korean midfielder at around 40-50 million euros. Napoli is the team interested in Lee.

Son is likely to continue to stay with Tottenham. However, the Saudi Arabian club has just made an attractive offer of nearly 60 million euros to convince Spurs to let him go. This figure is also double the transfer fee that Tottenham spent to recruit the Korean striker in 2015.

Son and Lee had a disagreement at the 2023 Asian Cup. During a meal with the Korean team, Lee argued and was later accused of assaulting Son. After the incident was exposed, Lee was pressured by public opinion and had to publicly apologize to Son. The two mended their relationship after that incident.
