If we compare PSG and Real Sociedad, I think PSG still has a better chance than Real Sociedad of winning and qualifying for the quarter-finals. Even though it is true that Real Sociedad also won group D, leading over Inter and only goal difference is the difference, but that doesn't mean Real Sociedad is better than PSG.

Because after all, playing in the knockout phase of the Champions League clearly has different pressure too, what's more PSG is a team that has good dominance in Ligue 1 . Also, basically Enrique is used to facing or against La Liga teams and with the experience Enrique has like that. So ya, of course Enrique really understands the right strategy for playing against Real Sociedad later and thus, of course PSG has a very good chance of beating Real Sociedad.
Real Sociedad progress in the Champions League this season cannot be underestimated, they won group D which contained Inter Milan who were finalists in the UCL last season, PSG qualified for the knockout stages by finishing second in Group F. Luis Enrique who serves as PSG coach, is no stranger to Real Sociedad, he previously faced Real Sociedad when he was still coach of Barcelona. Sociedad also has several players who have played for the Spanish national team in the Luis Enrique era.

This is a difficult match for PSG because the improvement process carried out by Luis Enrique in the PSG squad is not completely perfect, they are still having difficulty bringing out their best abilities in the UCL even though they managed to top the Ligue 1 standings. Luis Enrique experience against teams from Spain is very important for PSG, especially now that they are in the knock-out round, a small mistake in the first leg can have a big impact in the second leg.
