Argentina captain, Lionel Messi, has reacted to his penalty miss against Ecuador at the quarter finals of the Copa America 2024.




It would be recalled that Messi missed his attempted paneka penalty kick as Argentina defeated Ecuador 4-2 in the quarter-final clash on Thursday to qualify for the semifinals.

Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez made two saves during the penalty shootout to spare Messi’s blushes after the match had ended in a 1-1 draw after 120 minutes.

Speaking to reporters after the game, Messi said:

“I was very angry because I was convinced to take it that way if the opportunity arose.

“I had talked with Dibu and Rulli in advance.”
