PSG’s world-class front three fluff their lines with Messi guilty of missing guilt edged chance on ‘MNM’ debut | OneFootball

It was supposed to be lift off for Paris Saint-Germain’s lauded front three of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, but Club Brugge had other ideas in Wednesday evening’s Champions League tie.

Not only did none of the trio manage to get on the scoresheet, but Mbappe even had to suffer the ignominy of being substituted by his coach, Mauricio Pochettino.

Against the expected whipping boys of Group A, the final 1-1 scoreline was not in the script.

With five games still to go in the group stages, there’s plenty of time for the Ligue Un giants to qualify of course.

There’ll be better nights in front of goal for him and his colleagues, but it was clear that the pressure had got to them on the night.
