Four of the eight matches in the first leg of the Champions League 1 8 finals this season have changed their ways. On matchday, the two group winners Manchester City and Real Madrid won away from home, and the champions of the past two seasons deserved their name. On the second match day on February 15, Beijing time, the other two group leaders Bayern Munich and Real Sociedad lost away respectively, Bayern was shocked to lose to Lazio, and the weakest group leader Real Sociedad lost 0-2 to Paris Saint-Germain, one of the strongest group runners.

In order to prepare for this Champions League knockout match, coach Enrique arranged for the star Mbappe to rest in the last league game of the 3-1 victory over Lille, and "Mr. Mbappe" sat on the bench to watch the game. In this game, Mbappe started as a central striker, and the two wingers were Dembele and Barcorra, a French international combination.

La Liga side Real Sociedad have been mediocre in attack this season, but have been solid defensively and are the best at putting together a 0-0. Since 13 December last year, Real Sociedad have played a total of six games with a 0-0 scoreline. But in the face of the powerful Paris, Real Sociedad will find it difficult not to concede a goal. In the 58th minute, Dembele took a corner kick, Marquinhos headed the ball to the goal, Kubo Kenei's defense leaked, and Mbappe followed up with a cushion shot to break the deadlock on the field. In the 70th minute, Ruiz attacked, Barcola burst into the box on the left and scored with a low shot from goalkeeper Remiro.

Real Sociedad have been a fantastic team, failing to score in all five games since 27 January, and after three consecutive 0-0 defeats, most recently lost 0-1 to Osasuna and Paris Saint-Germain 0-2.

In this game, Real Sociedad was able to keep the score of 0-0 in the first half, but lost the goal in the second half. When asked what was done at half-time, Paris boss Luis Enrique responded with a smile after the game: "I can't remember, chefs never give their recipes. I think it's the players who trust themselves a lot more and I told you from the beginning that it's a game. ”

Regarding the goal conceded by his own defensive leakage, Japan international Kenei Kubo explained: "Mbappe reacted too quickly, and by the time I reacted, he was already two meters away from me. I played well before the goal, but because of my mistake that goal I conceded, it filled me with a sense of guilt. ”
