    "We know it will be tough, that PSG are one of the contenders to go to the final, but don't have any doubts that the players and I are all going to go for it," Imanol said at a press conference ahead of Tuesday's game in San Sebastian.
  • PRVW
    Meanwhile, Real Sociedad coach Imanol Alguacil admitted Monday he is dreaming of "a magical night" in which his side overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit and knock Paris Saint-Germain out of the Champions League when they meet in the return of their last-16 tie.
  • PRVW
    They have a comfortable lead against opponents who lie seventh in La Liga and have won only once in nine games.
  • PRVW
    No other PSG player has reached double figures and Mbappe will surely start in San Sebastian as the French champions look to finish the job.
  • PRVW
    Mbappe has scored 32 goals in 33 games for his club this season, including four in the Champions League.
  • PRVW
    However, Luis Enrique's decision to handle Mbappe in this way ahead of such an important European date has been questioned.
  • PRVW
    PSG can afford to experiment in Ligue 1 given they lead the table by nine points from Brest with 10 games left.
  • PRVW
    A week later he started as captain at home against Rennes, but was substituted on 65 minutes. His replacement Goncalo Ramos went on to score the equaliser in a 1-1 draw.
  • PRVW
    Luis Enrique might have been expected to make the most of being able to call on Mbappe until then, but instead he has made a point of reducing his top scorer's playing time.
  • PRVW
    Mbappe scored the opening goal in that game but the following day the superstar striker informed PSG of his intention to leave when his contract expires at the end of the campaign.
  • PRVW
    PSG have suffered numerous humiliating defeats at this stage of the Champions League in recent years but they are ideally placed to advance to the quarter-finals this time after winning 2-0 at home to the Basque side in last month's first leg.
  • PRVW
    The La Liga side will have to come from behind if they are to qualify for the next round of Europe's top competition.
