If there is no eternal rival, what else does the mind feel in the game! Looking at a statistic of Lionel Messi, it may seem so.
Ronaldo left Real Madrid in July 2016 to join Juventus. Messi has not scored a goal against Real since then. There is no goal support! But there is no place for emotion in professional football. Whether you are an eternal rival or not, you have to fight against all the opponents.
Messi knows that very well and the coincidence remained despite playing against Real tomorrow. What? Messi could not score from the penalty against Ronaldo Real!
Messi took a shot to the left of the goalkeeper
In the 62nd minute, Real’s right-back Dani Carvajal fouled PSG star Killian Mbappe in the box. PSG got the penalty. Messi has previously taken five penalty shots to the left of the goalkeeper for the club and the country.
The PSG forward’s figures were probably known to Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. Cortona jumped to the left and saved the Argentine star’s penalty.
After last night’s failure, Messi sat next to Thierry Henry in the record for most penalty misses in the Champions League. The PSG star failed to score 5 times with 23 penalty shots in this competition.
Earlier, the record was held by Arsenal legend and former France striker Thierry Henry alone. However, Messi failed to score from the first penalty against Real. He has scored six times from seven penalties.
Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is blocking Messi’s shot
However, Messi failed to score from the penalty spot for the second time in his career against Belgian goalkeeper Courtois. Messi failed to score from the penalty spot against Atletico Madrid in the 2013 Spanish Super Cup. At that time, Courtois was at Atletico’s goal post.
However, the Belgian star is currently in the midst of a penalty shootout. Courtois also blocked the two penalties that Real had digested before last night (Atletico on 16 January, Valencia on 6 January).
Corto was prepared to face the PSG. In the first leg match of the last 16, since the opponent will be desperate, he recovered from the penalty practice.
