In the 2011 AFC Champions League
semi-final first leg against his former club Suwon Bluewings, Lee was involved in a heated argument with Al Sadd team-mates following Mamadou Niang
's controversial second goal, which was scored after Suwon claimed to have put the ball out to allow treatment to injured players and possession should have been returned to the Korean club. Lee said that the goal was 'unfair' and suggested Al Sadd should give a goal back although the idea was rejected. The situation prompted Lee to walk off the pitch requiring his coach Jorge Fossati
to substitute him with Ibrahim Majid
from the remainder of additional time.
