KYLIAN MBAPPE broke the net with his hammer hit that put PSG a goal to the good in their Champions League tie.
The Frenchman opened the scoring against Real Sociedad with a powerful effort to beat Alex Remiro in between the sticks.
Mbappe received the ball in the 15th minute from Ousmane Dembele and after using his electric pace to keep it in play he then shifted into the box and onto his favoured right foot.
The 25-year-old moved the ball to the side of Arsenal transfer target Martin Zubimendi before unleashing a venomous strike that nestled in the back of the net.
The shot carried so much power that it actually pulled the netting away from the upright and caused a THREE MINUTE DELAY to proceedings in San Sebastian.
Members of staff in the Reale Arena had to fix the goal before play could continue.

Mbappe later doubled his side’s lead with a second goal for himself in the 56th minute to secure a 2-1 victory and a 4-1 aggregate win for the Parisians.
PSG made light work of Sociedad and will now amble on through to the Champions League quarter-finals.
Mbappe’s brace saw him extend his superb record in Europe’s most prestigious competition to 46 goals and 26 assists in just 68 Champions League appearances.
It’s no wonder that the best teams in the world are sniffing around the World Cup winner who is set to wave goodbye to PSG at the end of the season.

Spanish giants Real Madrid look the most likely to secure the services of the superstar, but Premier League duo Arsenal and Liverpool have also been linked with a shock move for Mbappe.
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta explained last month how he believes his side need to be “in the conversation” for players of Mbappe’s calibre.
He said: “If we want to be the best team, we are going to need the best talent and the best players, thatβs for sure.
βI am not [part of those conversations]. Maybe Edu and the owners are, but I am not in those conversations until the last stage.
Asked directly if he would be interested in Mbappe even though it seems he is heading to the Spanish capital, Arteta said: βWhen there is a player of that calibre we always have to be in the conversation.
βBut as you said, it looks in a different way. That is what I will say.β
