Mbappe’s unstoppable form carried PSG past Real Sociedad and into the Champions League quarterfinals, with the French forward’s two goals securing a 2-1 victory and a 4-1 aggregate win. Despite recent minutes reductions, Mbappe’s impact was undeniable, leaving PSG with a comfortable night in Spain.
Mbappe, a target for Real Madrid, showcased his prowess early on, creating chances and testing Real Sociedad’s defense. His opening goal, a skillful maneuver followed by a clinical finish, set the tone for PSG’s dominance. The contest effectively ended with Mbappe’s second goal, a deceptive finish that showcased his remarkable form this season.
Real Sociedad tried to rally, but PSG’s lead was insurmountable. A late consolation goal for Real Sociedad came too late to change the outcome. Despite the victory, PSG will miss defender Achraf Hakimi in the quarterfinal first leg due to a booking.
