Having finally made his full club debut for Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League, Lionel Messi failed to score a goal with some missed attempts at the Jan Breydel Stadium. The closest Messi came to scoring was in the 29th minute when, with the score level at 1-1, the Argentine attacker received a pass near the right flank. Cutting in from the edge of the opposition box, he curled in a stunning effort which was denied by the crossbar. The former Barcelona captain was left expressing his disappointment after the attempt, which could have given PSG the lead in a game that saw no further goal.
Here is the video of Messi's stunning effort in the first-half:
One fan even pointed out that it was identical to a shot he took 15 years ago against Chelsea, during a Champions League match for Barcelona. Here is the video of Messi's identical shot for Barcelona:
