Voted man of the match by UEFA for this PSG-Real Sociedad, Kylian Mbappé did not deliver his best match in the Champions League. Like his partners, the Bondynois was stifled by the Basques for very long minutes. Especially during this first period of poor quality which worried more than one.
But Mbappé was able to come out of his box at the right time to open the score in favor of the Rouge et Bleu. If Bradley Barcola sealed the fate of the match in the 70th minute, the 2018 world champion remains well aware of the difficulties encountered by his team. This is also what he said after the match.
Mbappé promises a better return match
“In the first half, we had difficulty getting out of the pressing. We could have added more personality. It’s part of this team’s learning. We didn’t pay much for it. Second, we come back with more conviction. We managed to score at key moments. The clean sheet is important. We are looking for this kind of performance in the Champions League”he told Canal+, before concluding.
“We knew they came with a lot of desire. We managed to score at times that hurt. It’s going to be a similar game, they’re going to want to score goals. If we have spaces, we will go there and we will score. (…) They will want to play, they are late. For us, the most important thing will be to put quality in our ball output. We will do what we need to do in the return match. » The appointment is made.
