Coach Luis Enrique has slashed Mbappe's minutes in recent weeks after the player told the club he would leave at the end of the season, but the France captain proved he will be vital if PSG are to finally win the competition for the first time.
The electric Mbappe was impossible for Real Sociedad to shackle and his strikes after 15 and 56 minutes left the Ligue 1 leaders with a simple night in the north of Spain.
"We are very happy, it was the objective," Mbappe told 'Canal Plus'. "We wanted to qualify but today we also wanted to win and give ourselves a bit of an easier game. That is what we did.
"We had a clear game plan. We managed to score early and, above all, we managed to avoid getting into any major difficulty."
It was not so much that Real Sociedad did not heed the warning but simply could not stop the 25-year-old. "We competed, but against a team of this level and with a player ... Mbappe, who each time he gets it in transition it's almost a goal..." Merino told 'Movistar'.
"I hope this club gets to have nights like these again." With one victory in 10 matches across all competitions, La Real are battling to reach next season's Europa League.
