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. 

Mail Sport brings you our player ratings from PSG’s victory at the Parc Des Princes.

Gianluigi Donnarumma – 6 

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.

Vitinha – 7 

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 in the first half. 

Bradley Barcola – 7.5

Scored his first goal in the Champions League and took it very well. He glided past defenders to break into the box and wrapped up the move with a great finish. 

Kylian Mbappe – 8  

Stepped up when PSG needed him despite missing a chance early in the first-half. The Frenchman showed his excellent reactions to arrive at the far post before anyone else. 

Substitutes and manager

Marco Asensio 72′ – 6

Looked bright when he came on but could have made it 3-0 with a thumping effort in the last five minutes of the match. 

Ousmane Dembele struggled to get on the scoresheet and failed to convert a close chance in the first half

Lucas Hernandez 72′ – 5 

Struggled to control Takefusa Kubo after coming on. 

Randal Kolo Muani 83′ – 5.5 

Came on late and nearly got on the scoresheet. Showed great ability to evade the Real Sociedad defenders but struck his effort marginally wide. 

Luis Enrique – 7

Definitely not the first-half he’d have wanted but galvanised his team at half-time to seal the victory. He’ll have plenty to think about before their return fixture in March.

Real Sociedad player ratings 

Real Sociedad: Remiro 6, Traore 6, Zubeldia 7, Le Normand 5, Galan 7, Mendez 7, Zubimendi 8, Merino 7, Kubo 8, Andre Silva 7, Barrenetxea 7.

Subs: Zakharyan 66′ 6, Pacheco 78′ 6, Sadiq 78′ 6, Turrientes 78′ 6, Aramburu 5′.
