How could it be otherwise?
On the pitch of Real Sociedad, in the crucial second leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League, it was Kylian Mbappé who opened the scoring, offering a significant advantage to the Parisians, who had already won the first leg. (2-0).
The Frenchman had already opened the scoring at the Parc des Princes.
The last weeks of the captain of the France team have however been eventful.
While, on February 16, he announced his departure to his president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, Kylian Mbappé has had less playing time recently.
Substitute for Nantes, the striker was replaced at half-time against Monaco, which raised questions about his relationship with Luis Enrique.

The Bondynois is, however, well started this Tuesday evening for this round of 16 second leg of the Champions League.
Associated with Ousmane Dembélé and Bradley Barcola in attack, Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring after an action of which he alone has the secret.
Launched in depth by Dembélé, then isolated on the left side of the area, he hooked his defender in two stages before unleashing an unstoppable cross shot for the Basque goalkeeper.
This goal, the fifth of the season in the Champions League, allows him to join Antoine Griezmann and Erling Haaland at the top of the C1 scorers rankings this season.
He had already scored against Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan, Newcastle and, therefore, in the first leg against Real Sociedad.
