The football world was left stunned after Paris Saint-Germain striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting produced what many called the miss of the century during a match on Sunday, April 7, 2019. The moment quickly went viral, prompting questions about technique, decision-making, and even the boots he was wearing.
The Miss That Defied Logic
Choupo-Moting had already opened the scoring in the 13th minute, giving PSG an early lead. But later in the game, with the goal gaping, he somehow failed to convert from close range. The resulting miss became an instant classic — replayed, dissected, and memed across social media.
Why It Stood Out
The sheer improbability of the miss, given the space and time available, left fans and pundits baffled. Even repeated viewings offered no clear explanation for what the forward was thinking.
The Boots Behind the Moment
Choupo-Moting was wearing PUMA’s latest “Hacked Pack” boots during the match. While a brand typically welcomes the visibility its products receive in viral clips, the nature of this particular moment — a miss of this magnitude — made the association less than ideal.
A Playful Explanation
Some observers joked that the boot pack’s name offered a clue: perhaps the player had been “hacked” by a glitch that momentarily convinced him he was a defender. While clearly tongue-in-cheek, the theory became part of the conversation around the incident.
