On the 9th at Seoul World Cup Stadium, a 2026 Coupang Play Series preseason friendly between Manchester City and Atlético Madrid was held.
The two teams, which produced a UEFA Champions League–level classic in 2023, meet again in Seoul after three years. Atlético Madrid completed a surprise signing of Lee Kang-in, agreeing to a five-year deal for a €40 million transfer fee (about 65 billion won) and assigning him the No. 7 worn by the "legend" Griezmann. This match is Lee Kang-in's debut wearing the "No. 7" jersey, drawing intense interest from domestic fans.
