June 24, 2026 · Carlos Rodríguez
Lionel Messi missed a penalty in the World Cup match against Austria, failing to score his record 17th World Cup goal.
Lionel Messi is only human after all. Just moments ago, the Argentinian lost his nerve in the second World Cup group match against Austria. Maybe because he had a record on his mind? In the 9th minute, the global superstar was just eleven meters away from his 17th World Cup goal — a mark no one has ever reached before. For the moment, that remains the case. La Pulga pushed the ball wide to the right of the Austrian goal.
