Antoine Griezmann's sorry start to the 2020-21 season continued after he missed a sitter the Champions League clash against Dynamo Kyiv. The 29-year-old has netted only a solitary goal so far this campaign and had the chance to add to the tally on Wednesday.

The 2018 World Cup winner was clear on goal after Kyiv's keeper Ruslan Neshcheret parried an Ansu Fati shot straight into his path. Instead of doubling Barcelona's lead by burying it into the goal, Griezmann somehow managed to strike it wide and hit the side netting.
