In the whirlwind of news linked to the future of Kylian Mbappé, PSG must also focus on the athlete. Because the big deadlines arrive quickly. The Parisians will challenge Real Sociedad on February 14 at the Parc des Princes in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League. While the capital club seems favorite against a Basque team which has its injured, Robin Le Normand wants to be confident.
In an interview with Téléfoot this Sunday, the Spanish international born in France (eight caps) spoke about the way he approached this double confrontation: “They are special players, capable of finding the fault. We will have to make the perfect match. We have a collective that can pose problems for this PSG. It is clear that we are approaching these two matches with the idea of eliminating PSG. »
The strong point of Real Sociedad? “His dry cleaning”
In this same interview, the 27-year-old defender also gave one of the strong points of his team. And for him, the high pressing carried out by his teammates, in the opposing camp, is one of the biggest weapons of Real Sociedad: “The attackers do a monstrous job of hindering the first restarts, so they chew up the work for us behind . One of our strong points is our collective defensive work because it is really very good. »

With only two small goals conceded this season in the Champions League, in a fairly homogeneous group made up of the finalist of the last edition, Inter Milan, Benfica and Salzburg, the Basque club has the best defense in the competition. Luis Enrique is therefore warned: he will have to work on his ball releases and his ability to escape the opposing pressure to get a glimpse of the quarter-finals. Especially since Imanol Alguacil should find important elements like Takefusa Kubo, Arsen Zakharian or Mikel Merino.
