PARIS — Kylian Mbappé's night went from bad to worse when he missed a twice-taken penalty for Paris Saint-Germain against Montpellier and then limped off injured. The World Cup star went off midway through the first half against moments after clutching his right leg just below the knee following a challenge. TV cameras also showed him rubbing the back of his left thigh as he walked to the dressing room. But PSG coach Christophe Galtier says "it doesn't look very serious" and "we're not too worried." PSG was awarded a penalty in the seventh minute. Goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte saved Mbappé's first effort and brilliantly pushed Mbappé's re-taken effort onto the post. Mbappé then somehow missed an open goal from the rebound. Leader PSG won 3-1.
