Lee made his debut at the World Cup

Lee Seungwoo, 20 years old, made his World Cup debut for South Korea after coming on as a late substitute against Sweden today. That name might sound familar to Barcelona fans because he was one of the youngsters who was signed to an illegal contract which subsquently saw the team banned from making transfers for a year by FIFA. Lee, who recently turned 20, has been at Italian side Hellas Verano since last summer.

Barcelona signed Lee to their academy when he was just 12 years old after impressing at a tournament in South Africa. The young talent came onto the pitch to try and turn around the situation for his country after a penalty, awarded by VAR, had given Sweden the lead.
