Neymar has just delivered one of the most painful penalty misses we've seen in a long time

Neymar has just taken one of the most tepid penalties that you’re likely going to see all season.

Paris Saint-Germain certainly had a tough challenge on their hands when they travelled to Nantes on Saturday night in Ligue 1 despite confidence being high on the back of the 1-0 win over Real Madrid.

In fact, the French giants remarkably found themselves 3-0 down at half-time with Randal Kolo Muani, Quentin Merlin and Ludovic Blas all scored at the Beaujoire Stadium.

However, PSG have made a habit of dramatic goals in the league this season and it came to the surprise of absolutely nobody that they started to launch a comeback in the second 45 minutes.

And it was Neymar who started the fight back with some fine interplay with Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi, followed by some fancy footwork in the penalty area, culminating in him scoring to bring things back to 3-1.

Then, just minutes later, the Brazilian superstar had the chance to bring PSG to within one goal of drawing level when he assumed penalty-taking responsibilities on the back of Messi’s miss in mid-week.

However, Mauricio Pochettino’s men once again disappointed from 12 yards with Neymar taking one of the most head-scratching penalty misses that we’ve come across in a long time.

The former Barcelona man assumed his typically showy and stuttering run-up before proceeding to deliver a shot so tame and central that it essentially looked as though he was passing it to the goalkeeper.

We can only assume that Neymar was waiting for the Nantes shot-stopper to dive early and panicked when there wasn’t a flinch, but the result was disastrous either way, so be sure to check it out below:
