Argentina captain, Lionel Messi, has said he was very angry after missing a penalty against Austria at the ongoing FIFA World Cup.

Messi missed a penalty against Austria in Monday’s World Cup encounter, but ended up scoring a brace as La Albiceleste won 2-0.

Speaking to the press after the game, the Inter Miami forward revealed that he kicked the ball badly.

“Today, there was a moment where I was very angry about the penalty because I missed it,” Messi said as quoted by GOAL.

“I kicked it very badly, and well, luckily, we were able to turn that situation around, take the lead, and get the three points, which is what’s important.

“Obviously, it was in our plans to get the victory. We knew it wouldn’t be easy, especially with how the World Cup is unfolding. Every game is hard; no one gives away anything.”
