Messi is promising a penalty


Remember the penalty taken by Messi against Iceland in the first match of the 2018 World Cup? He could not score a goal from that. Argentina could have left the field if they had won the match.


Or the penalty against Atletico in the 2014 Super Cup or the penalty against Chelsea in the crucial semi-final of the Champions League in 2012? These two penalties were also missed.


Messi may still burn his penalty in the shootout against Chile in the 2016 Copa America final.


All in all, an idea was formed in the minds of the people, Messi's weakness may be in the penalty. Messi, who is accustomed to easily scoring multiple opponents, may not like to score in the so-called easiest way to score.


But for months, the biggest star of Barcelona and Argentina has been proving this idea wrong.


Messi also successfully scored from the penalty spot in the last league match against Real Betis. With this, Messi has scored half a dozen penalty goals in club and international matches this season.


That, of course, gave birth to another discussion. Messi forgot to score from the penalty spot as if he had scored from the penalty spot. Although he met the 'drought' against Betis. Even if it is met, Messi's effectiveness is being noticed from the penalty spot.


In the last 20 months, Messi has taken 14 penalties. And he is keeping his promise through one penalty success after another.


What is that promise? In an interview with Catalonia Radio in 2016, Messi said he was paying close attention to the penalty, "I want to be more effective in taking penalties.


Apart from that, it is very difficult to practice penalties. Because taking a penalty in a match is not the same as taking a practice. '


Another Messi has been seen in the penalty spot since the announcement. Messi has missed just one penalty in the last two years, which has been a relief for fans in Barcelona and Argentina!
