Paris Saint-Germain Title Party Delayed After Awful Choupo-Moting Miss

PARIS — Paris Saint-Germain had its title celebrations delayed for at least another week after forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting accidentally prevented a goal for his team despite the ball being about to cross the goal-line.

Amid disbelieving looks from teammates, with the score at 1-1 in the first half, Choupo-Moting stopped a chip over the Strasbourg goalkeeper from Christopher Nkunku. Choupo-Moting, who had scored the opener, gently nudged the ball onto the post before it was cleared in Sunday’s 2-2 draw between league leader PSG and Strasbourg.
