Real Sociedad 1-2 PSG Stats

Sport by : (PRESSBEE) -

PSG in a thrilling match that ended with a 2-1 victory for the French side. The stats from the game tell an interesting story of how the match unfolded.

PSG dominated possession throughout the game, controlling the ball for 60% of the time. They also had more shots on goal, with 15 compared to Real Sociedad's 8. However, it was Real Sociedad who struck first, with a goal in the 32nd minute by Mikel Oyarzabal.

All may not be lost for Sociedad, with manager Imanol Alguacil set to welcome back leading scorer Mikel Oyarzabal for this crucial tie, having missed the first encounter through injury. 

Mbappe is clearly vital to Les Parisiens’ hopes of going deep in the UEFA Champions League and his record on this stage is befitting a player regarded by many as the best on the planet now.

There’s no escaping the fact Mbappe was the major force in ensuring his current club put aside their last-16 travails of previous years and, while most teams won’t fear drawing PSG next, the X-factor Mbappe brings makes them a threat you simply can’t afford to underestimate and perhaps prioritising his minutes in Europe may yet prove to be a bit of genius from Enrique. Time will tell.

PSG had won 10 of its last 13 matches in all competitions but was coming off consecutive draws against Rennes and Monaco in the French league.

Mikel Merino scored Sociedad’s lone goal in the 89th to give the home crowd some reason to celebrate.

“We wanted to qualify, but we also wanted to win,” Mbappé said. “We had a game plan that was clear, and we managed to score early. We didn’t come under too much pressure, just a little at the end.”

PSG responded quickly, equalizing just before halftime through Kylian Mbappe. The French side continued to press forward in the second half and were rewarded with a goal from Mauro Icardi in the 62nd minute.

Despite their best efforts, Real Sociedad couldn't find an equalizer and PSG held on for the win. The stats may show PSG's dominance, but it was their clinical finishing that ultimately secured them the victory.
