Lionel Messi was left in a state of shock after his teammate Kylian Mbappe missed a sitter during Paris Saint-Germain's two-nil win against OGC Nice.

The empyrean Argentine put the heckling from the club fans and the uncertainty surrounding his future behind him to produce another masterclass performance on Holy Saturday.

He inspired PSG to their first win since March 11, scoring and providing an assist to help the Parisians restore their six-point lead at the top of the Ligue 1 standings, BBC reports.

His statistics could have been further enhanced had Mbappe been prolific in front of the goal.

The 35-year-old teed up his partner-in-crime, who took the ball in his stride and dribbled past a defender before blasting his effort wide from a chance that appeared easier to score than to miss, per GOAL.

Mbappe's miss left the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner in complete shock, unable to come to terms with how the Frenchman failed to convert from close range.

Here is Messi's reaction:

Mbappe's criminal miss

Sports Brief also reported that Kylian Mbappe failed to arrest his barren run, blanking in Paris Saint-Germain's 2-0 victory against OGC Nice on Saturday evening.

He led the attack for Christophe Galtier's charges alongside Lionel Messi, who was jeered by some section of the club's fanbase.

Receiving a pass from Messi, the 24-year-old took a touch to reposition himself and get a better view of the goal, but his effort flew above the crossbar, underlining his recent decline in form.
