Li made his debut in unusual circumstances on 29 May 2019 in a
Chinese FA Cup game against
Guangzhou Evergrande, coming on as an 83rd-minute substitute for
Zhang Yufeng, a
midfielder, despite being a goalkeeper. He played alongside fellow goalkeeper
Liu Peng up front for Beijing, and was the third goalkeeper fielded by Beijing in that game, with
Mou Pengfei playing in his regular position in goal. ==Career statistics==
