Champions League: Kylian Mbappé sends PSG to the quarter-finals

Kylian Mbappé a remis les pendules à l'heure… MAXPPP – Le Parisien/Arnaud Journois

Auteur d'un doublé lors de la victoire du PSG à la Real Sociedad (1-2) à Anoeta, mardi 5 mars, l'attaquant international a qualifié sa formation pour les quarts de finale.
 

The best answer always comes from the field and Kylian Mbappé why he is one of the best players in the world. Released at half-time of the match in Monaco (0-0), last Saturday, by his coach Luis Enrique, the French international responded on the pitch, scoring twice (16th, 56th). nbsp;

Two goals which bear the seal of the French striker with two right strikes coming from the left side. The first wrapped in the small net, the second covered at the near post… He could even have scored a hat-trick if Remiro had not opposed his shot (29th). The Spanish goalkeeper was also decisive against Barcola (10th).

On the other hand, Donnarumma was hardly called upon by the Spanish attackers because PSG generally mastered its subject thanks to effective pressing and its technical quality to make your opponents run.

Paris loosened its grip a little at the end of the match and the Basques found the solution through Merino but too late (89th).

The Parisians return to the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time since 2020.
