PARIS, Feb 15, (AP): Kylian Mbappé scored yet again in the Champions League and emerging winger Bradley Barcola grabbed his first goal in the competition as Paris Saint-Germain beat Real Sociedad 2-0 in the first leg of the round of 16.
The 25-year-old Mbappé joined PSG in 2017 in a deal worth 180 million ($193 million) and has netted a club record 243 goals since then. The 21-year-old Barcola arrived from Lyon in a deal worth a hefty 50 million euros ($54 million) for a relative unknown, and is starting to impress with his skill and poise.
"I’m really happy tonight," Barcola said. "It’s a childhood dream come true."

However, Sociedad dominated the game for long spells despite missing key players through injury, until Mbappé’s goal in the 58th minute.
The breakthrough came when Marquinhos headed on Ousmane Dembélé's corner from the right and Mbappé was unmarked at the back post to volley in.
"That’s where we lose the control of the game,” Sociedad coach Imanol Alguacil said. "We can’t allow that to happen.”

A few minutes later, Mbappé's strike from the edge of the penalty area was tipped onto the crossbar by goalkeeper Álex Remiro.
Remiro was beaten again in the 70th when the speedy Barcola broke down the left, skipped past right back Hamari Traoré with ease and poked the ball in - prompting coach Luis Enrique to jump off the bench to celebrate.
