The missed penalty at La Meinau
On Saturday, October 17, 2026, during the match against Strasbourg, Paris Saint-Germain were awarded a penalty in the 71st minute after a handball in the box. Ousmane Dembélé, designated to take the spot kick, did not hit the target and missed the chance to level the score.
A recurring issue from the spot
Dembélé's miss adds to a recent run of missed penalties by the club. The same source notes that the week before, against Le Mans (Saturday, October 10, 2026), Doué also missed his spot kick. On Wednesday, October 14, 2026, during the home game against Manchester City, Ferran Torres also failed from the penalty spot against Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Diverging versions on the context of the spot kick
The available reports differ on the exact context of the penalty conceded at Strasbourg. One states that at the moment of the decision by the referee (71st minute), PSG were trailing 1-0 and seeking to equalize; another official live results source places the match at the 87th minute with a score of Strasbourg 1-2 Paris Saint‑Germain. These elements are contradictory regarding the moment and the scoreline associated with the penalty.
Immediate sporting consequences
Regardless of the precise moment reported, the miss from this penalty extends a series of unsuccessful attempts since the start of October 2026. These misses have affected at least three different takers: Doué (Paris Saint-Germain vs Le Mans, October 10, 2026), Ferran Torres (Paris Saint-Germain vs Manchester City, October 14, 2026) and Ousmane Dembélé (Paris Saint-Germain vs Strasbourg, October 17, 2026). In the current season, these misses represent a recurring problem in dead-ball situations.
