The strangest incident of the year: Choupo-Moting prevented his teammate Nkunku's goal

It was 1-1 and Strasbourg had just cancelled out Choupo-Moting's goal. Choupo-Moting, the ex-Stoke man, then stopped his teammate Nkunku's shot from going in. Literally.

When everyone thought it was going to be 2-1, Choupo-Moting thought of stopping the ball on the goalline. In other words: a PSG striker prevented a PSG goal. Crazy.

This moment of madness must have some kind of explanation, but the goal-line technology was even called into action. Embarrassingly for Choupo-Moting, the ball had not crossed the line. 

The cameras panned to the bench and Kylian Mbappe, who did not start the match, could not believe what he was seeing. To make things, Strasbourg ended up going into the sheds 1-2 up after a great goal by Goncalves.
