Mbappe stars against Real Sociedad
The French forward, who had struggled to find his form in the opening three games, seemed to shake off early-season rust after netting a brace against Real Betis just before the international break, Eurosport reports.
That performance appeared to lift the weight off his shoulders, allowing him to rediscover the electrifying play that made him a dominant force at Paris Saint-Germain.
While Mbappe had a relatively subdued first half, the second half saw him burst into life, per Goal.
His blistering speed and dazzling dribbling left the Sociedad defence scrambling to keep up.

In a display of his full array of technical skills, he channelled his inner Ronaldinho, flip-flopping the ball past his marker on the byline and then unleashing a fierce shot that narrowly missed the target.
Madrid took the lead through Vinícius Junior's penalty in the 58th minute, but it was Mbappe who stole the show with his mesmerizing footwork.
In one standout moment, he nutmegged defender Jon Aramburu, accelerating past him with ease as he cut through Sociedad's defence.
His relentless energy and skill not only entertained the crowd but also played a key role in Madrid's dominance.
With the victory, Madrid inched closer to league leaders Barcelona, and Mbappe's resurgence offers hope that the Frenchman will continue to be a vital piece in Real’s attacking puzzle.
