Neymar may have taken the worst penalty of the season in PSG's shock 3-1 defeat to Nantes.
PSG trailed 3-0 at halftime, thanks to goals from Quentin Merlin, Randal Kolo Muani, and a penalty from Ludovic Blas.
Neymar scored quickly after the halftime and had a penalty spot opportunity when Kylian Mbappe was pulled down.
What occurred? Neymar's spot kick went right into the arms of Alban Lafont.
It's possible that giving him too much credit for his spot kick was a mistake. It was unbelievably predictable.

It's Paris Saint-Germain's 2nd league setback of the season after an amazing win over Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Enthusiasts have responded to Neymar's penalty, and even they are confused as to what he was doing.
One person wrote: Is this the tamest penalty he's seen all season? If I'm being honest, it's the worst one I've ever seen.
Someone commented: Kissing the football to only pass it straight to the goalkeeper.
Another said: Honestly, I can't imaging taking a penalty like that even 3-1 down.
Mbappé has won penalties in back-to-back games for PSG. Messi missed the first one and Neymar has now missed the second.

While another person tweeted: Many people claim that this man is better than THE Ronaldo. Wonderful.
The Brazilian legend performed a significant role in Paris Saint-Germain's win against Madrid, coming off the bench to set up Mbappe's victory.
Lionel Messi was on penalty responsibility over 'Los Blancos,' and ramped up when Kylian Mbappe was hauled down by Dani Carvajal.
His strike yesterday was greater than Neymar's, but he was ultimately stopped by Thibaut Courtois.

After the contest, Courtois stated that Messi disclosed exactly what he was going to do.
"Clearly, he takes a lot of penalties, so it's difficult to forecast correctly," Courtois told BT Sport.
He dropped a few on this end, so I believe he was moving to the left. He netted one against Leipzig, possibly from the center. I simply said, "Ok, we'll go left," and I made a good stop.
