France: Lee marks historic year with PSG
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.

Inter’s Islamic Republic of Iran international Mehdi Taremi was also on the bench in the final. The 32-year-old, who played 12 Champions League matches and scored against Red Star Belgrade in the group stage, also claimed four assists during the competition.  
 
Japan international Junya Ito assisted Reims’ only goal in their 3-1 loss to Metz in the second leg of the Ligue 1 playoff finals. The result sees his side relegated to Ligue 2 after the first leg ended in a 1-1 stalemate. Ito’s fellow internationals Keito Nakamura and Hiroki Sekine were also involved, with the former starting and the latter coming on in the 77th minute. 

Scotland: Nisbet’s County relegated
Australian international Josh Nisbet scored Ross County’s first goal in the seventh minute but was unable to prevent his side from going down 4-2 to Livingston in the second leg of the Premiership playoff final.
County, who lost 5-3 on aggregate, have been relegated to the Scottish Championship after six years in the top flight while Livingston return to the Premiership a year after demotion.
