CHAMPIONS LEAGUE star Ivan Martin had a moment to forget during Girona’s 1-0 defeat the Sturm Graz last night.
Martin, 25, missed an absolute sitter to put Girona ahead in the Champions League league phase clash in Austria.
The attacking midfielder found himself in a golden position to score his first ever Champions League goal during the first half of the match.
But what looked to be a certain goal was soon a moment that will have kept Martin up all night as he fluffed his lines and hit his shot over the bar from around two yards out.
The former Villarreal man was devastated with his miss and put his head in his hands following the shocking moment.
While fans couldn’t believe what they were seeing with the keeper completely out of the equation when Martin missed the target.
