Lionel Messi saw his penalty saved by Thibault Courtois in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League, PSG-Real Madrid.
As incredible as it may seem, “La Pulga” can miss their penalties. At the 61and minute, on an acceleration from Kylian Mbappé, Dani Carvajal mowed down the French striker in the box. The referee very correctly designated the penalty spot.
A parade that preserves the parity score for the moment! #PSGRMA | #BCC | #UCL

Unfortunately for him, Lionel Messi did not convert him and stumbled on the Belgian goalkeeper of Real Madrid who held himself perfectly to the surprise of the entire Parc des Princes.
