Five times Lionel Messi proved that he is human

#4 Habit of disappearing in big games

The Barcelona star does not always turn up in big games

While Messi performs in almost every game, he has never scored or assisted in any of the three major international tournament finals that he has played in. It could just be his misfortune, but there have been a lot of critics who have blamed him for disappearing in big games.

Having struggled to find his feet in all three of the finals, including missing a late free-kick in the final of the FIFA World Cup against Germany, Messi cannot truly be described as immortal, and the one-off bad games that he has are enough proof that he breathes the same air as all of us.
