Riolo expects a ‘very good Mbappé’ against Real Sociedad
Daniel Riolo thinks Kylian Mbappé will shine against Real Sociedad this evening, as he explains in RMC and Apolline Matin on RMC Story: “As I think he is in his last season at PSG, I imagine he will also shine. But I don’t think Mbappé needs that kind of thing to motivate himself. He’s an extraordinary champion, an extraordinary person. I don’t think there’s much that bothers Mbappé. It’s definitely his last in Paris. is in the season. He will play it. I am sure he will be very good tonight and he will score goals. He will take PSG to the quarter-finals and then, everything will depend on the draw, he said, “There are big teams in the Champions League. But there is that average (Real Sociedad) and we have to take advantage of that.”
“PSG came out of a very tough group,” Riolo recalls
Daniel Riolo in Apollinaire Matin on RMC and the RMC story: “Paris were in a very tough group. In my opinion, there were stronger opponents in this group than Real Sociedad. Newcastle, Milan, Dortmund, Bus. Real Sociedad are better. And PSG is another one of them. The rank came out. The match that was completely missed was the one at Newcastle (4-1 loss), where Paris really faltered. Milan (2-1 loss) had a good half. And a really bad half.”
“For the rest, to get out of this group when PSG changed a lot last summer, it was already a satisfaction. And while at the back, you have a chance to draw Real Sociedad, I think it is necessary to calmly think about qualifying for the quarter. – The final. If things go bad, we’ll be on the air for hours talking about the PSG tragedy once again, but I find it hard to believe that.”

Daniel Riolo is confident for PSG ahead of their Champions League round of 16 first leg against Real Sociedad.

But it must still be said that these disasters have happened against the big names of European football, even if it’s Barca. , Real, Bayern. Last year (eliminated in the round of 16), Bayern wasn’t a disaster either. It was just a strong team. I don’t want to say it hangs over the Parisians’ heads, but it’s something that hasn’t been taken out. . When Luis Enrique does all his press conferences that he doesn’t exist, I think he did a little bit to calm everyone down.”
“I think this group looks pretty quiet to me. Sure, Marquinhos might be the last man in this team to pull down all of PSG’s loose balls, but I find it hard to believe that PSG won’t pass against Real Sociedad. “
“PSG should have no problem qualifying,” says Riolo
Daniel Riolo looks ahead to the Champions League round of 16 first leg between Paris and Real Sociedad, in RMC and Apollin Matin on RMC Story: “PSG’s recent past means that every time we get to the round of 16, it ends in disaster. But there , it looks like the draw that PSG got at the beginning of the QSI adventure, with Valencia or Leverkusen. Because from time to time, we have the right to have a little chance. There could not be a better draw.”
“To say that Real Sociedad are completely on top is a deliberate exaggeration. But this team had a very good start to the season, it was a bit of a surprise in Spain, and then things went back to normal. Normal. In addition, this team is missing a lot, important players. There isn’t. Objectively, PSG should have no problem qualifying.”
