Real Sociedad vs. PSG Clash of the Titans in the Knockout Round!

  • 6 months ago
In the final year of the previous Champions League format, a significant change is on the horizon. The upcoming knockout round will introduce a fresh and exciting element, courtesy of the draw that pairs the financially backed Paris Saint-Germain with the youth-driven Real Sociedad.

Under the guidance of Imanol Alguacil, a lifelong member of Real Sociedad, the Txuri-Urdin will face Les Bleu et Rouges for the first time ever. PSG, on the other hand, is an extraordinary institution led by manager Luis Enrique Fernández, a former Spain and Barcelona boss. Interestingly, Fernández is a few months older than the club itself, which was established on August 12, 1970.

While the spotlight may be on the visit of the billionaire French aristocrats, with the exceptional talent of Kylian Mbappé leading the charge, it is crucial to acknowledge the warning to PSG: "Watch out!" Even if we were to combine the top five transfer expenditures in Real Sociedad's history, it would still fall short of Mbappé's annual salary.
