PSG forward Lionel Messi was left disappointed during his country's opening game of the 2018 FIFA World Cup against Iceland. The Argentine had a spot kick saved during the match that ended in a 1-1 draw.

Messi recently spoke about the infamous miss in an interview:

“First game in the World Cup. The first 15 minutes, the anxiety and nerves for everything that happened to get to that game. Then you let go, but the first game is very important and gives you peace of mind.
"I always said that if I converted the penalty (against Iceland), and we started winning, everything would have been different. That’s why it’s important to have a good start.”
