Messi's record of penalty miss
Lionel Messi spent a forgotten night. If Killian Mbabane had not scored in the last minute, the entire blame would have fallen on the shoulders of the Argentine retailer. He did not have to drown in that despair. However, the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner has written his name in an uncomfortable record on the night of unrest. Messi missed a penalty against Real Madrid in the first leg of the last 16 of the Champions League on Tuesday night. So he holds the record for most penalties in the history of the Champions League, jointly with former Arsenal star Thierry Henry. Messi missed five of the 23 penalties in the tournament, including Tuesday. Henry also missed his equal penalty and was the lone top for so long. On the other hand, Messi has surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo with 23 penalty shots. The referee blew the whistle for the penalty when Carvahal fouled Mbabane in the D-box in the 70th minute of the PSG win. But unexpectedly, Messi missed the penalty. Cortoya blocked the Argentine Khuderaj's speed spot kick by jumping to the right.
