Kylian Mbappe produces miss of the season from six yards out, it was an open goal

Kylian Mbappe produced a horrific miss from SIX yards out for Paris Saint-Germain against former side Monaco on Sunday night.

Monaco took a shock lead against the Ligue One Champions at the Parc des Princes but somehow PSG didn't level matters just before half-time.

Mbappe regained possession for his side on the halfway line and dribbled past an opponent in glorious fashion before feeding Lionel Messi.

The Argentine cut on his trusty left foot and unleashed a powerful strike that smacked the post. But the ball bounced back into play and directly into the path of Mbappe for what looked to be a certain equaliser.

However, with the goal open, Mbappe's first-time finish struck the woodwork for a second time in a matter of seconds.

It was an explicable miss from Mbappe, who showed that it can happen to the very best from time to time.

Mo Salah can attest to that, having conjured up the worst miss of his career against Bournemouth on Saturday.

The Egyptian star failed to get on the scoresheet in the 9-0 thrashing of the Cherries and missed from about a yard out when Harvey Elliott put it on a plate for him.

Neymar did equalise with a penalty in the 70th minute to preserve PSG's unbeaten start to the season.
