The Argentina National Football Team advanced to the semifinals of the Copa America 2024. But their ever-influential star Lionel Messi had a rough day. He hardly affected the quarterfinal game against the Ecuador National Football Team at the offensive end. He even missed the opening penalty in the shoot-out, hitting the top bar. With this Messi is still without a goal in the tournament so far. Fans reacted to Lionel Messi’s penalty miss and drew comparisons with Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, who also missed a penalty against Slovenia in the UEFA Euro 2024. See some of the reactions below. Lionel Messi Penalty Miss Video: Watch Argentine Captain Shoot Panenka Kick Hit the Bar During Argentina vs Ecuador Copa America 2024 Quarterfinal.

Throwback to when Messi was the only player to score his penalty for Argentina in the 2015 Copa final that they lost.
Today his team-mates turned up for him. What a story ♥️

Biased Journalists prediction by fans
Zero Goals for Messi in Copa America and he missed a penalty in the shootout, but no journalist will ever say he's holding Argentina back. God forbid if it was Cristano Ronaldo.pic.twitter.com/u1i2eocFq4
