My Latest Penalty Miss Made Me Angry – Messi

Argentina captain Lionel Messi has said that he was distressed during his nation’s dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over Egypt. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

Cutting a figure of raw emotion after the game, Messi admitted that he wasn’t pleased with his own performance, especially after his latest penalty miss on the global stage.

Lionel added that he was delighted to help Argentina with his goal after letting the team down again from the spot.

His words, “I was really angry about the penalty, very distressed about missing again. If I had scored the penalty at that moment, it would have changed the game. We were playing well.

Aside from the penalty, we had clear chances. The goalkeeper made some incredible saves.

Luckily, in the end, I got the chance. It’s something very special to be able to help this group after what had happened.

Honestly, I’m happy to have qualified, because of how we did it. It got tough at 2-0. It was very exciting to be able to turn it around. We suffered a lot again, but this is the World Cup. All the matches are the same. Everything is very close. I’m very happy.

It’s yet another example of pride, character, and desire. I’m very proud. It was a relief for everyone, given how the game unfolded. It’s not easy to come back from 2-0 down.

But, as I always say, this group never gives up and tries until the very end. We were lucky to get Cuti’s goal early, we still had time left, and we turned it around in the 90 minutes. What this group did today was incredible. I hope we keep going.”
