Big mistake! Lionel Messi becomes the first player to miss a penalty at this World Cup

Leo is off to a shaky start in this match.

Details: Today, in the second round of the World Cup between Argentina and Austria, the 38-year-old Argentine genius Lionel Messi missed a golden chance to open the scoring as early as the 7th minute, failing to convert a penalty kick.

Argentina were awarded the spot kick after Austrian defenders fouled Lautaro Martínez inside the box.

None other than Messi stepped up to take the penalty, but even the greatest can falter from the spot.

With this, Messi became the first player at the current World Cup to miss a penalty.
