In a masterful display, Kylian Mbappe propelled Paris St-Germain into the quarter-finals of the Champions League, securing a comfortable win against Real Sociedad. The highly anticipated second leg at San Sebastian was seen as a potential challenge for PSG, but Mbappe’s brilliance shone through, contributing two crucial goals to Luis Enrique’s side.
Mbappe, who has already agreed to join Real Madrid in the upcoming summer transfer window, showcased his exceptional talent with a standout performance, registering his 27th and 28th goals of the season. The 25-year-old forward set the tone early in the match, accelerating past Hamari Traore to create an opportunity for Bradley Barcola, whose shot was skillfully saved by home goalkeeper Alex Remiro.
Six minutes into the game, Mbappe opened the scoring with a dazzling display of skill. Receiving Ousmane Dembele’s pass, he outplayed home defender Igor Zubeldia before unleashing a powerful right-footed shot into the bottom-right corner, temporarily displacing the netting with precision.
Mbappe’s second goal of the night came shortly after the break. Racing down the left to collect Lee Kang-in’s pass, he delivered a disguised low shot past Remiro at the near post, leaving the Sociedad defense helpless.
The Parisiens dominated the match from the start, with Sociedad’s passive approach in the early stages playing into PSG’s hands. Sociedad’s attempts to rally only gained momentum after falling four goals behind on aggregate, making their efforts too late to pose a serious threat.
As the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals approaches on March 15, PSG’s commanding victory showcases their determination to make a significant impact in the competition. Mbappe’s exceptional performance not only secures PSG’s spot in the next stage but also adds another chapter to his illustrious campaign with the French giants.
