Lucille: Lionel Messi has a fine for missing a penalty four years ago. It was against Iceland. In the second half, the kick taken by Messi was saved by goalie Haldórsson. If this goal had been in the net, Argentina would have won. The match ended in a draw. Argentina went through the qualifying round and reached the quarter-finals, but this penalty continued to haunt Messi.
Therefore, when the penalty was conceded in the eighth match of the first match against Saudi after four years, the fans were shocked. The penalty was awarded after the Saudi player fouled Argentina’s Leandro Paredes. Ware awarded the penalty.
Fans were anxious, but Messi wasn’t the only one shaking. The ball bounced slowly to the left, leaving the goalie, who was leaning to the right, a mere spectator. Argentina is ahead as expected. The fans are also very happy to start the fight with Messi’s goal.
This is Messi’s seventh goal in the World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo has also scored seven goals in the World Cup so far. This is also Messi’s 92nd international goal. With this goal, Messi became the first Argentine player to score in four World Cups.
