Kylian Mbappé had a night to remember on Tuesday, scoring two goals and being touted as the world’s best player, as he helped Paris Saint-Germain advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. The 25-year-old’s double led the French side to a 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad in San Sebastián, Spain, giving it a 4-1 victory on aggregate over the two legs of their round-of-16 clash. The first goal of the night was a microcosm of Mbappé’s skillset – exploding down the left side of the pitch before bamboozling his defender with some quick feet before lashing it across goal into the bottom corner in the 15th minute. Such was the power of his goal that the strike actually broke the net, leaving a hole behind between post and net. The game had to be stopped while repairs took place. Mbappé doubled PSG’s lead on the night and effectively finished off the tie 11 minutes after halftime with another trademark goal. The French superstar sprung free down the left with a ball over the top before wrong-footing Alejandro Remiro in goal.
