It was everything for Real Sociedad and Lazio in the current edition of the 2023-2024 Champions League. Paris Saint Germain led by the young Frenchman Kylian Mbappé and Bayern Munich, led by the English scorer Harry Kane, proved to be a lot for both clubs that aspired to achieve historic results, but it all remained just that, an aspiration.
The Spanish Real Sociedad received in a Real Arena excited with the comeback against a Paris Saint Germain that arrived with unknowns generated as a result of the possible presence in the eleven of the Frenchman Kylian Mbappé, since the forward had been substituted and replaced by his coach Luis Enrique in recent weeks as he states that PSG must “get used to playing without him.”
All those doubts were dispelled an hour before the start of the match, since Mbappé started the game as a starter and already in the match he did his thing against a Real Sociedad that was left wanting to do something more.
Barely a quarter of an hour had passed when the Frenchman took advantage of a play on the left side, controlled the ball, took all the time he wanted and beat Álex Remiro, Real Sociedad goalkeeper, with a great shot against the left post for the goal. 0-1 (0-3 overall).
Having said so much, he extinguished Real’s attempt at a comeback, who could only see how in the second half Mbappé again appeared on the scoreboard for the final 0-2 that settled the series 0-4 in favor of the French team.
In the other tie, Bayern Munich ended up taking the victory by a score of 3 goals to 0, destroying Lazio’s dream of being able to make history by eliminating the German giant from the Champions League.
Everything was decided in favor of Bayern thanks to a double from Harry Kane and the same goal achieved by Thomas Müller. This was enough for the Bavarian team to overcome the 1-0 defeat in Rome and become one of the eight best clubs in the current Champions League.
Bayern always took the initiative even though the start of the match was at a very high pace, but little by little the current German champion managed to take control of the ball thanks to a loose play inside the Lazio areaKane took advantage to make it 1-0 and his 50th goal in UEFA competitions.
The goal gave Bayern a boost shortly after Müller made it 2-0. The third of the night in Germany fell in the 66th minute again thanks to Kane and Bayern thus completed their path to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
Other Champions League matches are scheduled for Wednesday, March 6. Real Madrid will host Leipzig at the Bernabéu and the current champion of the competition, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, will face Copenhagen at home.
