Messi Misses Penalty as PSG Edge Real Madrid in First Leg of Champions League Clash
Kylian Mbappé scored a dramatic injury-time goal to give Paris Saint-Germain a 1-0 lead over Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League knockout clash. The match, held at Parc des Princes, saw both teams battle intensely, with Lionel Messi missing a penalty in the first half.
Despite an early penalty opportunity, Messi’s shot was saved, and the game remained deadlocked at 0-0 until the dying moments. In the fourth minute of injury time, Mbappé latched onto a pass and slotted the ball past Madrid’s goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, securing the vital advantage for PSG ahead of the return leg in Madrid next month.
The match proved to be a tense encounter, with PSG having the upper hand but Real Madrid still in contention as the tie moves to the Spanish capital for the second leg.
