The French champion, with a goal in each half, extinguishes the Basque ambitions, repeating the result in Paris. In the final Merino’s useless goal
Kylian Mbappé is starting to take measures in La Liga. Scoring in Paris’ 2-0 win over Real Sociedad, Kylian immediately frustrated the Basques’ vague ideas of a comeback by scoring in the 15th minute and doubling the score in the 11th minute of the second half. PSG won 2-1 and after two eliminations in the round of 16 against Real Madrid and Bayern Munich they return to the quarter-finals: Luis Enrique’s team is growing, and with Mbappé in these conditions, provided that the relationship between the star on the run and the coach remains decent, can aspire to anything. For Real Sociedad, unrecognizable compared to the rival faced by Inter in the autumn, only one victory in the last 10 between the Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey and even 8 unsuccessful matches at home.
The choices
—
In Real Sociedad Barrenetxea, having just recovered, goes to the bench, in his place Sheraldo Becker. In PSG Nuno Mendes, 52 minutes of football in the last 10 months, starter on the left in defence: the two Lucases, Beraldo and Hernandez, central in place of Marquinhos and Danilo who started in Paris. In front, Barcola on the right, Dembélé false new and Mbappé on the left.

Free to move and very inspired. And immediately decisive: in the quarter of an hour Traoré leaves Zubeldia alone and Mbappé martyrs him: double dribbles come in from the left and with the right the ball turns to slip near the far post, breaking the net with his power.

Before the goal, Remiro had already performed a miracle with his knee on Barcola served by an exceptional shot from Mbappé and he had to do it again after the goal, this time with an assist from Barcola for Mbappé: lethal turn and providential foot.

The match fizzled out, dragging on emotionlessly until the break. To revive it in the second half, Mbappé was once again launched behind the Basque defense by the Korean Kang-in Lee who entered the break for Barcola, and doubled the lead by classily beating Remiro with a sharp shot to the near post. In the final, Mikel Merino’s goal after some good saves from Donnarumma, the bulwark of a satisfied and distracted PSG. For Mbappé 40 goals of the season in 39 matches for club and country, the sixth in this Champions League with 46 goals in 69 appearances in the competition. In Madrid they dream, but before that they can still do it in Paris.
