Kylian Mbappé faces the Champions League fortress
The French star has scored 30 goals in 29 matches this season, but he is up against the tournament's least conceded defense.
The Champions League returns to Paris with a clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Sociedad, where the main protagonist is once again expected to be Kylian Mbappé.
After not playing a single minute in PSG's 3-1 victory against Lille last Saturday in Ligue 1 due to physical issues since the French Cup match against Brest, Mbappé is now fully fit and will start on Wednesday against the Basque team.
It's a first-leg duel in the round of 16 that pits an insatiable Mbappé against the tournament's wall. The French forward has scored 30 goals in 29 games this season, but he faces the least conceded team in the Champions League.
Indeed, Real Sociedad is the team that has conceded the fewest goals, just two, in the entire group stage and also the one that has kept the most clean sheets, four.
Defenders like Le Normand or Zubeldia will be tasked with trying to stop a fresh Mbappé who knows that PSG's chances of lifting their first Champions League trophy rely on him and his goals.
