Lionel Messi picked up the loose ball just inside the box and passed it beyond the rushing out goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel to Mbappe.
He took one touch, dribbled it around his opponent before to the shock of everyone, firing his shot into the crowd with just a defender on the line.
Mbappe collapsed to the floor in embarrassment, but his blushes were saved by the fact Messi was wrong to pass to him.
The 24-year-old was actually offside because only the Nice defender on the line was nearer to the goal than him.
The offside laws state two players must play an attacker onside.
Fans were still left shocked by the horror miss, one said: “How the hell is Mbappe missing?”
Another commented: “OMG I am in pain.”
A third reacted: “Messi should have just scored the goal himself. But the man is selfless to fault.”
Many supporters brought up the fact that the Argentinian legend has been booed by PSG fans in recent weeks, but he was excellent last night.
Messi netted his side’s first in the game then got the assist as Sergio Ramos doubled thier advantage.
The win moved PSG six points clear at the top of Ligue 1.
