Paris Saint-Germain have a healthy advantage when it comes to this encounter at the Reale Arena. The French side were comfortable 2-0 winners in the recent first leg encounter at the Parc des Princes, with Luis Enrique’s side now looking to produce a professional performance in order to reach the last eight of the competition.
PSG have been largely written off by the bookies when it comes to this season’s competition, although they are still a dangerous operator who boasts arguably the best player in the world right now. While Kylian Mbappe has declared he will be leaving at the end of the season, perhaps he can sign off with a European Cup success.
The Frenchman was on target a few weeks ago and will now aim to help his team take the tie right away from a Real Sociedad team who went unbeaten in the group stage to finish marginally ahead of Inter Milan. However, they were only able to get three wins and three draws as group winners and based their success on a tight defence.
One thing’s for sure: Sociedad can’t afford to concede and go through from this Champions League tie. The aim will be to try and score the first goal of the game and hope that this affects the balance of the match. It’s a tricky two-goal lead for Paris to defend although the bookies think it’s a virtual certainty that they will go through.
