Failed to beat the goalkeeper. Vitinha misses a penalty against Monaco

Paris Saint-Germain travelled to Monaco for their UEFA Champions League preliminary round clash and conceded twice early in the match. To make matters worse, their finishing let them down as well.

Details: In the 21st minute, PSG were awarded a penalty, with Vitinha stepping up to take it. However, he failed to beat the goalkeeper. Köhn produced the save, and no one reacted quickly enough to convert the rebound.

Meanwhile, the Champions League playoff clash against Monaco began in disastrous fashion for PSG. The fans had barely settled into their seats when Folarin Balogun lofted the ball into the Parisians’ net.

It marked only the second time in Champions League history that a team has conceded at such an early stage of a match. PSG were completely unprepared for Monaco’s blistering opening surge.

Recall: On Tuesday, February 17, the UEFA Champions League preliminary round clash between Borussia Dortmund and Atalanta was scheduled to take place, but it did not kick off as planned.
