Eric Choupo-Moting with a miss of the season contender for PSG (BT Sport) Eric Choupo-Moting produced one of the worst misses of all time during Paris Saint-Germain’s clash with Strasbourg on Sunday evening. PSG had the chance to wrap up the Ligue 1 title with a victory and got off to an excellent start as Choupo-Moting opened the scoring in the 13th minute. Strasbourg pulled level through Nuno da Costa but Choupo-Moting squandered a golden chance shortly after to restore PSG’s advantage. Christopher Nkunku chipped the ball over Strasbourg goalkeeper Matz Sels but from less than one yard out Choupo-Moting stopped the ball on the line instead of poking it into the net. And it got even worse for PSG before half-time as Anthony Goncalves scored a brilliant effort to put Strasbourg ahead. Thomas Tuchel was also criticised before the match for his decision to start Kylian Mbappe on the bench. The 20-year-old is currently the top scorer in Ligue 1 with 27 goals this season – and it’s probably safe to assume he would’ve hit the target from less than a yard out. But PSG were able to salvage a draw as Thilo Kehrer finally found a way past the excellent Sels with eight minutes remaining.<doc-sep>Once you have subscribed we will use the email you provided to send you the newsletter.

For many football fans, it's still hard to believe that Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is plying his trade at Paris Saint-Germain. Considering the striker was fresh from being relegated with Stoke City and PSG boast forwards like Neymar and Edinson Cavani, it was certainly a transfer that raised eyebrows. Nevertheless, Choupo-Moting is a decent finisher on his day and you can't exactly blame him for grabbing the opportunity to move to the Parc des Princes with both hands. And although chances have been limited in the first team this season, he was selected to start for PSG's league clash with Strasbourg this weekend. If Thomas Tuchel's men won the game, they would regain their status as French champions and take home the Ligue 1 title. PSG vs Strasbourg Things starts perfectly for Choupo-Moting, too, as he found the net during the early exchanges and bagged just his third goal since his Stoke exit. However, from that point on, things started to go downhill for PSG as goals from Nuno da Costa and Anthony Goncalves flipped the game on its head. Choupo-Moting's horror miss Not only that, but Choupo-Moting bottled a golden opportunity to bag his second goal of the game and we really can't stress the word 'golden' enough. That's because the 30-year-old arguably produced the worst miss in footballing history, somehow managing not to score from such close range that goal-line technology was needed. In fact, it was so terrible that it could have been mistaken for a last ditch clearance. Frankly, words can't do the miss justice - so check out the clip below: The worst miss in history? Your eyes aren't deceiving you, he genuinely missed that. The miss sparked a rather bemused reaction from Kylian Mbappe on the touchline and it was implied by the television broadcast that PSG players blanked the forward at half-time. The fact of the matter is, the miss is so terrible that Choupo-Moting will probably be watching clips of the gaffe for the rest of his career. He will go down in the football history books with the likes of Ronnie Rosenthal, Chris Iwelumo, Yakubu and Fernando Torres, who have produced similarly awful misses. As far as we're concerned, though, Choupo-Moting has only gone and topped them all. What is the worst miss you've ever seen in football? Have your say in the comments section below.

During Paris Saint-Germain's clash against Strasbourg at the Parc des Princes, the 30-year-old Cameroon international was handed the perfect opportunity to score a brace in the first half. Following on from his opener in the 13th minute, Dani Alves passed the ball into the path of Christopher Nkunku, who beat Strasbourg 'keeper Matz Sels with a lofted ball that found its way to Choupo-Moting. Advert 10 The former Stoke City and Schalke player then messed up the simplest of chances when it came to smashing the ball into the back of the net. Check it out below. Advert 10 Unbelievable, right? There have been complete shockers in the past, but this one takes things to a whole new level of ridiculous. What's worse is the fact that Choupo-Moting's 'shot' stopped Nkunku from scoring, especially as it was heading into the back of the net anyway. There's no doubt that the PSG player will regret that moment, mainly for how Strasbourg picked up a draw against the reigning Ligue 1 champions. Advert 10 Oh, did we forget to mention that PSG could have sealed the title with a win against Strasbourg? If we didn't, then now is the time to mention that!
