Kylian Mbappe put his weekend controversy behind him to fire PSG into the Champions League quarter-finals with a double in a 4-1 aggregate win against Real Sociedad.
Mbappe courted headlines on Friday when pictured sitting with his family in the stands after he was substituted at half-time of PSG’s goalless draw at Monaco, but showed no signs of a repeat performance when he struck a stunning first-half opener in San Sebastian to put the Ligue 1 leaders in full control of their last-16 tie.
The France captain then doubled his, and PSG’s, lead on the night with a simple finish when the ball was palmed into his half mid-way through the second.
Mikel Merino pulled one back with a late consolation for Real Sociedad, though Imanol Alguacil’s side were already soundly beaten by that point.
