'Unbelievable fervor...Seoul shook just with Lee Kang-in's appearance,' Spanish media surprised

Lee Kang-in made his highly anticipated debut for Atletico Madrid in a preseason friendly against Manchester City held in Seoul. The atmosphere at the Seoul World Cup Stadium intensified significantly when the 25-year-old midfielder was substituted into the game.

Fans erupted with excitement as Lee took the field, with the stadium reportedly shaking from the roar of the crowd. He quickly made his presence felt, creating chances and even coming close to scoring the equalizing goal for his new team. His performance demonstrated flashes of the skill and dynamism that led to his transfer.

However, despite Lee Kang-in's energetic contribution and the palpable enthusiasm he generated, Atletico Madrid ultimately could not secure a win in the match. Spanish sports outlet AS noted that Lee's "festival was thwarted at the end," highlighting the dramatic nature of the game and the missed opportunity for a victory despite the player's impactful debut.
