Zakharyan hit again

Already weakened before the round of 16 first leg against the PSG, midfielder Arsen Zakharyan will return to the infirmary. Having fallen badly after a fall, the Russian will have to take exams. “He couldn’t even get dressed,” his coach said after the match. Real Sociedad had already been decimated in recent weeks, like the knee pain of captain Mikel Oyarzabal.

Despite having the ball in their favor, Real Sociedad failed to achieve success against Villarreal. Opposite, Marcelino’s players showed their realism thanks to a double from Santi Comesaña (17th, 47th) then thanks to Alexander Sørloth in added time (90+5th). Preserved at kick-off, Mikel Merino entered on the hour mark, giving his team hope (86th) at the end of the match.

On February 14, thanks to Kylian Mbappé and Bradley Barcola, PSG won (2-0) at home against Real Sociedad. Luis Enrique’s players followed up with a victory against Nantes (2-0) and will host Rennes this Sunday (5:05 p.m.) in the championship.
