Paris Saint-Germain hosts Real Sociedad, on the lawn of the Parc des Princes, this Wednesday evening in the round of 16 of the Champions League. After a very sluggish first period for the Parisians, including a crossbar hit by Mikel Merino on a heavy strike, Luis Enrique’s players managed to open the scoring in the second act thanks to Kylian Mbappé (58th), on a corner taken from the right by Ousmane Dembélé at the helm, Marquinhos was found to extend perfectly towards the far post. Alone at the reception, Kylian Mbappé propelled the sphere into the left corner of Álex Remiro.
This achievement marks the 44th goal scored by the former Monegasque in his career in the Champions League in 68 matches played by the French international. He thus exceeds the 43 units of the Spanish striker, Raúl, scored at the age of 25 or less. The Argentinian, Lionel Messi, is the only one in the history of the competition to do better with 59 goals before his 26th birthday.
