PSG's Lionel Messi Misses Penalty While Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo Scores in One Minute

• Lionel Messi, playing for Paris St. Germain, missed a penalty in a UEFA Champions League match, ironically against lifelong and lifetime archenemy Real Madrid

Social media was an absolute scene in reactions to this almost poetic moment.
