In the early minutes of Paris Saint-Germain’s UEFA Champions League quarterfinal duel against Atalanta, Les Parisiens were gifted with an early clear-cut opportunity that would have put them up 1-0.
With Neymar patrolling into the penalty box, he ended up creating enough space away from his nearest defenders. He then had a golden goal-scoring opportunity but wound up sending the ball wide right.

Goal-scoring opportunities like this one do not come around much against a side like Atalanta.
