Lionel Messi requires special attention in each of his matches. The Argentine is one of the best footballers in history and he has shown it throughout his entire career. “La Pulga” had in mind some ghosts behind him since the World Cup in Russia 2018 . But in Argentina’s duel against Saudi Arabia, Messi shook off those torments with a goal from the penalty spot.
“La Pulga” managed to score 1-0 in favor of the albiceleste team. A penalty brought goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Owais face to face with the Paris Saint-Germain footballer . Despite the fact that Lionel Messi made the charge with his characteristic serenity, this penalty had a great camouflaged weight.
Lionel Messi had only had the chance to kick a penalty in a World Cup. This charge dates back to the World Cup in Russia 2022. However, on that occasion, the star of the albiceleste team could not effectively materialize his first opportunity since the penalty spot.
That match took place on 48 June 2018. The rival on duty was the orderly selection of Iceland that complicated the South American team in the previous World Cup . In fact, Messi’s missed penalty had its consequences on the result, since Argentina couldn’t get past a 1-1 tie.
But the former FC Barcelona footballer needed a little more than four years to have his revenge. In the World Cup in Qatar 2022 Messi managed to get even with that ruling and divide its effectiveness from the penalty spot.
