Match report: PSG 2-0 Real Sociedad
Champions League: PSG were driven on at the Parc des Princes by the edge of Kylian Mbappé and the energy of a reconfigured team that is, for all its anti-galactico stylings, geared ever more to feeding the ball towards its incumbent Sun King. Barney Ronay reports from Parc des Princes.
A quick recap: PSG looked seriouusly out of sorts during a first half in which their visitors from Spain looked dangerous but stepped up their game after the break.
With Real Sociedad defender Hamari Traore off the pitch after receiving treatment for an injury, Kylian Mbappe took advantage of his marker’s absence to fire his side ahead at a corner just before the hour. Bradley Barcola doubled PSG’s lead with a neat solo effort 12 minutes later.
It’s still all to play for in the second leg but one suspects that not even a team as flaky as PSG will blow this … actually, let’s not jump to any hasty or premature conlcusions.
