PSG, already leading 2-0 from the first leg, cruised through with a 4-1 aggregate score.
Mbappe, PSG’s star player, has been in the spotlight amid rumors of his departure. Despite reduced playing time, he proved his worth with his stellar performance against Real Sociedad.
The French forward’s goals in the 15th and 56th minutes left Real Sociedad struggling to keep up.
“We are thrilled with the win. Our goal was to qualify, but we also aimed to win and make the game easier for ourselves, which we achieved,” Mbappe said after the match.
Mbappe’s electrifying presence on the field made it tough for Real Sociedad to contain him. His first goal, a skillful shot into the far corner, came after he outmaneuvered the defense.

Real Sociedad attempted to mount a comeback, but it was too little, too late. Despite their efforts, they couldn’t match Mbappe’s brilliance. A late goal from Mikel Merino provided a consolation for Real Sociedad, but it wasn’t enough to change the outcome.
Mbappe’s performance drew praise from PSG coach Luis Enrique, who hailed him as the best player in the world when it comes to scoring goals.

With this win, PSG advances to the quarter-finals for the first time since 2021, setting the stage for more exciting matches ahead.
As for Real Sociedad, they face challenges ahead as they strive to secure a spot in next season’s Europa League.
