PLAYER RATINGS: Mbappe gets PSG out of jail, Barcola nets his first UCL goal
Kylian Mbappe inspired Paris-Saint Germain to a 2-0 victory against Real Sociedad on Wednesday night following a drab first-half showing.
The LaLiga side kept PSG largely at bay, with Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele failing to finish off two close chances in the first-half.
It was the brilliance of the France World Cup winner, and his excellent reactions, that would help Luis Enrique's side take the lead in the 58th minute, with Mbappe stretching at the far post to knock in a Marquinhos' deflection from a free-kick.
Bradley Barcola would follow up with a second goal later on in the second half, gliding around several defenders before dinking past Alex Remiro to seal the victory and score his first goal in the Champions League.
Mail Sport brings you our player ratings from PSG's victory at the Parc Des Princes.
Was called into action on several occasions but ultimately a quiet evening for the Italian.
Achraf Hakimi - 6.5
Stretched defenders down the right flank, perhaps not as creative in the first-half as he'd have liked.
Marquinhos - 7
It was his flick on that set Mbappe up for the opened. Marshalled the defence well tonight.
Danilo Pereira - 7
Looks a solid partner for Marquinhos at the back.
Lucas Beraldo - 6.5
A solid Champions League debut for the 20-year-old. Looked composed on the ball and his positioning was excellent.
Fabian Ruiz - 7
Produced a great assist for Barcola's goal. Looked creative through the middle.
Warren Zaire-Emery - 6.5
Strong defensively. Perhaps could have offered more going forwards.
Grew into the game in the second half. Produced some great passes and was technically excellent.
Ousmane Dembele - 5.5
Produced a great pass to initiate Barcola's goal. But lacked a clinical edge infront of goal, missing a big chance
