On a free kick combination, Real Sociedad undermined the Parisian defense which finally escaped thanks to a whistle from Marco Guida.
21:14 – Remiro takes his time (13′)

The French winger plays against him but looks for Hakimi directly while he still had space.

8:49 p.m. – The return match scheduled in 3 weeks
This PSG – Real Sociedad is the first leg of this double confrontation of the round of 16 of the Champions League. The wait will then be quite long for the return match with a second confrontation scheduled in Spain on March 5.
20:42 – A giant tifo planned
The atmosphere is likely to be very beautiful this evening at the Parc des Princes for this PSG – Real Sociedad. The Parisian supporters have even planned a giant tifo on the occasion of the entry of the players which will take place in a quarter of an hour from now on.
20:35 – A new statistic
In this PSG – Real Sociedad, the Basques will play with only 4 players trained at the club. This is a first in the Champions League for the Real Sociedad club, which is very keen on its home training. Injuries push Imanol Alguacil to tinker.
20:28 – A first confrontation
This PSG – Real Sociedad is simply unprecedented in the history of the Champions League. The two clubs have therefore never met and it is a great first night at the Parc des Princes.
20:21 – Dembélé loves Real Sociedad
The former Barcelona winger knows his evening opponent well in this PSG – Real Sociedad and he likes the Basque club. He only lost once in the 10 matches he played against Real Sociedad when he played in Catalonia. Ousmane Dembélé even scored four goals.
20:14 – Three Parisians will have to be careful
This PSG – Real Sociedad will perhaps be played with a little restraint for three Parisians who are under suspension in the event of a yellow card. Achraf Hakimi, Lucas Hernandez and Manuel Ugarte would be absent in the round of 16 second leg if they picked up a yellow this evening.
20:07 – The PSG locker room is ready
Less than an hour before the kick-off of this PSG – Real Sociedad, the jerseys of the Parisian players are ready and waiting for the players in this round of 16 first leg of the Champions League. Traditional outfit for players from the capital.
20:00 – Team compositions
They were expected! Here they are ! The team compositions of this PSG – Real Sociedad have been announced! Luis Enrique brought out the shock team to start this big European meeting with a fiery attacking trio. On the other hand, there is a surprise in defense since Lucas Hernandez is replaced by Lucas Beraldo. In the middle, Ruiz was preferred to Ugarte. The Parisian XI: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Danilo, L.Hernandez – Zaire-Emery, Ruiz, Vitinha – Dembélé, Mbappé, Barcola.
Opposite, Imanol Alguacil must do without many injured players including Mikel Oyarzabal who is not on the match sheet. The former Rennais Hamari Traoré starts as well as the Spaniard of French origin Robin Le Normand. The Real Sociedad XI: Remiro – Traoré, Zubeldia, Le Normand, Galan – Mendez, Zubimendi, Merino – Kubo, A.Silva, Barrentxea.
19:30 – Real Sociedad lacks confidence
While dazzling Europe at the end of 2023, Real Sociedad has been failing since the start of 2024 and has not scored a single goal for 384 minutes. Imanol Alguacil’s players have not found the fault in their last four matches. On the other hand, the Basques will be able to count on the defense which has only conceded five goals since the start of the year. Furthermore, in the group stage of the Champions League, Real Sociedad only conceded two goals, making it the best defense in the competition.
19:00 – A habit for Paris
This PSG – Real Sociedad represents the 12th participation in a row in the knockout stages of the Champions League for the capital club. A great feat but not enough for the team which dreams bigger. The Parisians have been eliminated five times in the last seven appearances in the round of 16 and have still not won this competition that they have coveted so much since the arrival of the Qataris at the head of the club.
