Summary
Internazionale's analysis of seven La Liga matches has assessed Lee Kang-in's contribution at Atlético Madrid. The South Korean has recorded two goals and one assist whilst stepping into Griezmann's creative role following the Frenchman's move to MLS. However, compared to the league's elite playmakers such as Lamine Yamal and Arda Güler, his key pass tally reveals a significant gap. With Simeone's clear backing, improved performances are anticipated after the international break.
