(On the French supporters who come to Anoeta) We are on the border of France . We have a lot of French supporters who come from Bayonne, Biarritz, Hendaye and Saint-Jean-de-Luz.”

Manager of Inter (2nd behind Real Sociedad), Javier Zanetti gave his opinion
“It’s a team that plays very well, with a lot of intensity. They have quality players. It will certainly be a balanced confrontation with PSG.”
12:31
The program will be known before 6 p.m.
What we know is that PSG will host the first leg and will travel to Anoeta on the return leg. We will know the date before 6 p.m. announced Giorgio Marchetti.

Fred Hermel: “It’s the ultimate rotten draw!”
“It’s the rotten draw par excellence,” explains Fred Hermel, the Spanish football specialist for RMC. “It’s the team that plays football the best in all of Spain. It’s really a team that will pose challenges. problems at Paris St-Germain. Barça was a better draw for PSG than Real Sociedad. They have nothing to lose against PSG. Take Kubo, when he touches the ball, it’s hard to take it from him. PSG will suffer against a team that plays the ball so well.”
“When I see the midfielder of PSG and that of Real Sociedad, I say to myself that this is where it will play. Afterwards, this lack of experience at European level can weigh. I PSG has a great chance, it’s having a Spanish coach who knows this club and this way of playing very well. It’s a technical team, but physically, they’re still Basques!”
12:24
So, Real Sociedad, good or bad draw?
If on paper, it is the least flashy team in hat 1, it is also the strongest and the one which offers the most accomplished game, in short, it will not be easy to overthrow and we will also have to be careful to excess confidence for Parisians.
