Kylian Mbappé had a sensational performance for Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday scoring both goals in a 2-1 victory against Real Sociedad. His first goal was so strong that Mbappé broke the net.
In the 15th minute the Frenchman found the tiniest bit of space in his opponent’s box and fired in an effort from an incredibly tight angle.
A look at the replay revealed that Mbappé breaks the net when the ball hits the netting.

Faulty netting or superpower stuff from Mbappé? You be the judge.
Perhaps the 25-year-old put some of his anger into that shot. With Mbappé expected to leave PSG this summer manager Luis Enrique hasn’t been using his superstar as often.
Enrique subbed Mbappé at halftime during Friday’s 0-0 draw vs. Monaco and didn’t start him in two other Ligue 1 games last month. It seems Enrique is preparing for life after Mbappé's departure.

Even if Mbappé does leave this summer he can still accomplish PSG’s biggest goal before he departs: lifting the UEFA Champions League.
PSG’s 4-1 aggregate victory vs. Real Sociedad — in which Mbappé scored three of the team’s four goals —marked the first time the French club have made it to the UCL quarterfinals in three seasons.
