The striker tried to open the scoring by all means in the first part of the commitment played at the 974 Stadium, in Doha, but faced with the impossibility he resorted to other resources.
That was how, in the 37th minute, he tried to head a ball inside the area, but ended up on the ground before goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny left. The VAR interpreted that there was an infraction and the maximum penalty was decreed.

Messi misses a penalty in the Argentina-Poland of Qatar 2022
The popular ‘Flea’ took the ball to execute the free kick, but his face showed the nervousness that he had, to such an extent that the goalkeeper stopped his shot without much problem.
The Argentine kicked with his left leg, halfway up and towards Szczesny’s left post, who had no difficulty identifying Messi’s intention.
On video, the moment of the save:
¡MESSIII ????!

Social networks did not forgive the mistake of the attacker of the Argentine National Team and they gave him all kinds of jokes, mockery and data, like the one from ESPN, which highlighted:
“Messi, the first player in history to have 2 penalties saved in World Cups.”
However, many others remembered the Mexican boxer Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez and his controversy with the player, who rebuked for an alleged kick to the shirt of the Aztec team. However, the boxer later retracted.
