On the 9th, a preseason friendly of the 2026 Coupang Play Series between Manchester City and Atletico Madrid was held at Seoul World Cup Stadium.
The two teams, which delivered a UCL-class classic in 2023, meet again in Seoul after three years. Atletico Madrid made a bold move for Lee Kang-in, signing a five-year contract for a transfer fee of €40 million (about 65 billion won) and giving him No. 7, worn by the "legend" Griezmann. This match is drawing heavy attention from domestic fans because it is Lee Kang-in's debut, played in the "No. 7" shirt.
