Argentina captain Lionel Messi has admitted he was very upset after missing a penalty against Austria at the ongoing FIFA World Cup.
Messi missed a penalty during Argentina’s match against Austria on Monday. However, he later scored two goals as Argentina won the game 2-0.
Speaking to reporters after the match, the Inter Miami forward said he did not strike the ball properly.
“Today, there was a moment where I was very angry about the penalty because I missed it,” Messi said as quoted by GOAL.
“I kicked it very badly, and well, luckily, we were able to turn that situation around, take the lead, and get the three points, which is what’s important.
“Obviously, it was in our plans to get the victory. We knew it wouldn’t be easy, especially with how the World Cup is unfolding. Every game is hard; no one gives away anything.”
