However, they were unable to replicate that form on Sunday, August 28, when PSG battled Monaco at Parc des Princes.

Messi and Mbappe started in attack for Parisians but were unable to find the back of the net as the tie ended in a 1-1 draw, with Neymar securing a vital point for PSG.

Be that as it may, the attacking duo was only unlucky not to score as they hit the woodwork twice in quick succession.

According to The Sun, Messi had initially thought he had drawn his side level when he took aim from outside the box, only for his curling effort to smash off the post.

Mbappe reacted fastest to the rebound, latching onto the ball from the six-yard box with Monaco goalkeeper Alexander Nubel still on the floor.

But somehow, the Frenchman also rattled the post, missing a glorious chance to restore parity for PSG.

Fortunately for the hosts, Neymar managed to secure a vital point for them in the second half from the penalty spot.
