Paris Saint-Germain starlet Bradley Barcola scored the first goal of his UEFA Champions League career in style on Wednesday night.

It arrived in the 70th minute of PSG's 2-0 win over Real Sociedad at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of their round of 16 clash.

The 21-year-old slid a low shot under keeper Alex Remiro after confidently dribbling with the ball from the left touchline in an impressive six-second burst.

Barcola's goal - his third in all competitions for PSG - came 12 minutes after Kylian Mbappe had fired the home side in front.

Mbappe shot high into the net from close range after getting on the end of a Marquinhos flick-on following a corner kick.

This was Mbappe's 19th goal in his last 15 games.

The second leg will take place in Spain on March 5.

Elsewhere on Wednesday night, Bayern Munich lost 1-0 away at Lazio in Italy.
