Not counting as a penalty shootout, Messi s penalty kick was saved, which was the first time since the 2022 World Cup

Today's US League, Miami International lost 0-3 to Charlotte FC away. In the 29th minute of the game, Messi fell to the ground in the penalty area, and then the referee checked VAR and awarded a penalty to Miami International. In the 32nd minute, Messi personally took the penalty kick, and the spoon penalty was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.

This is Messi's first penalty kick since he saved a penalty against Poland by Szczesny in the 2022 World Cup group stage.

In this game, Charlotte FC won with the hat trick of forward Itan Tocromati, helping the team win nine consecutive league wins.

In the penalty shootout between Argentina and Ecuador last year, Messi was the first to take the penalty and missed the crossbar with a spoon penalty!
