Argentina captain Lionel Messi made unwanted FIFA World Cup history on Tuesday after becoming the first player to miss two penalties at a single edition of the tournament.
The Inter Miami forward missed from the spot during Argentina’s Round of 16 clash against Egypt, having also failed to convert a penalty against Austria in the group stage. Argentina, however, won the Austria match 2–0.
