Still him, still him.
This Wednesday evening, while his team put on a sluggish performance against Real Sociedad, particularly pressing and determined, Kylian Mbappé once again put on the savior costume to open the scoring.
It was a corner given by Ousmane Dembélé from the right in the 58th minute that led to this goal.
While the former Barcelona player looked for Marquinhos at the penalty spot, the Brazilian's header went wide of the goal.
It was without counting on the extremism of Kylian Mbappé, who threw himself at the far post to deceive Alex Remiro, and launched his team into this first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League.
MBAPPÉ DELIVERS PARIS!

The captain of the French team was the most dangerous Parisian since the start of the match, with Ousmane Dembélé.
From the 6th minute, he appeared alone against the Basque goalkeeper, but the latter managed to block his cross shot.
Kylian Mbappé then scored his goal, before passing a few centimeters from the double, but his heavy shot was deflected by the goalkeeper, then repelled by the crossbar.
10 - Kylian Mbappé became the first player to score at least one goal in 10 consecutive games started at home in the UEFA Champions League history.
Prince.

Thanks to this achievement, the Parisian holds a new record, that of the first player to score at least one goal during his last ten starts in the Champions League at home.
Indeed, the striker scored against Leipzig in the group stage during the 2021-2022 season, before going on against FC Bruges, Real Madrid, Juventus, Benfica, Maccabi Haifa, Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan, Newcastle and, therefore, Real Sociedad.
He only remained silent against Bayern Munich, but did not start at the time.
