He could have played [on Saturday] if it had been a final, but it wasn’t, it was not worth the risk.”##NAJAVA_MECA_7873268##Mbappe has scored 20 league goals and three in the Champions League this season.PSG finished as runners-up in their UCL group to reach the knockout stage, while Sociedad finished top of a group which included Inter Milan.”Real Sociedad have a tight defence in the Champions League, they don’t give the ball away easily. We have to press them aggressively,” said Luis Enrique.”They are certainly one of the best teams in the competition, that is why they qualified as group winners.
