Kylian Mbappé, the star of PSG, did not want to give in to euphoria after the success against Real Sociedad (2-0) in the Champions League.
PSG took an excellent option for the quarterfinals of the Champions League by dominating Real Sociedad (2-0) this Wednesday at home. Kylian Mbappé showed the way forward by opening the scoring in this game. And at the final whistle, he also made sure to re-mobilize his team.
“We are happy with this first step, but there is still a lot of work. But the advantage is important,” declared the Bondynois, before looking in more detail at this second round: “on the way back, we will have more space and it will be important to get out of their pressing. They will want to play and advance high. We will have to put quality into our ball releases, and then do what we do best.”
Mbappé liked the reaction in the second half
If Mbappé does not ignite, it is because he knows that everything was not perfect during this first round. “In the first half we had difficulty getting out of the dry cleaners. We could have added a little more personality. It’s part of this team’s learning. That’s how it is and we didn’t pay much for it.”
At half-time, it appears that Luis Enrique “pulled the ears” of the players, according to comments made by Marquinhos. Mbappé did not speak about this episode but he admitted that in “Second period, we came back with a lot more conviction and quality on what we wanted to do in terms of construction.” “We knew we were going to have space and we managed to score at key moments of the match”he added.
