PSG superstar Lionel Messi annoyed at missing penalty against Poland

Argentina needed to secure a win against Poland to ensure their qualification to the knockout round of the FIFA World Cup, which they achieved through two second-half goals. However, Messi had an opportunity to open the scoring in the first half with a spot-kick, but surprisingly, missed.

Following the game, the diminutive magician opened up about how he felt after he missed the penalty. He said (via ESPN):

"I'm annoyed that I have missed the penalty. But the team came out stronger after my mistake. The team was convinced that we were going to win, it was a matter of scoring the first goal. After that, the rest of the game was played the way we wanted."

The PSG superstar also revealed that Argentina's loss to Saudi Arabia in their FIFA World Cup opener was a warning against complacency. He added:

"We've learned a lot after we started [the World Cup] with a defeat. It was a bad start, everyone was disappointed and worried. Let's go calmly, we need to take that approach. Hopefully, we can continue playing like we did today and show our best."
