Lionel Messi missed a penalty against Egypt. And instead of hiding, he went out and cried in front of the whole world.
After the match, he explained exactly what he felt: “I cried because I felt I let my teammates down because of the penalty I missed… and the way I took it”. It wasn’t just the miss — it was the reaction he had on the field that weighed on him the most.
But the story didn’t end there. “Luckily, once again, God had something special for me at the end. I’m very happy”, the Argentine captain concluded. Once again the full weight of a country on his shoulders, and once again he found a way to pull through. 🇦🇷😭
