[PRESIDER @iam_presider]

I think the last two MLS season of Messi is affecting his penalty percentage!

Last season Leo played an entire MLS season scoring 35 goals without a penalty , 23 assist tho

This season he has 12 goals , 7 assist , 1 penalty

In 2022 World Cup, he introduced a new penalty approach and scored 4/4 and missed one when he went for power

2026, he’s never applied the technique, only power and he’s missed all!

Not playing enough penalties or being regular has affected him this World Cup

[OptaJoe @OptaJoe]

8 - 🇦🇷 Lionel Messi's eight goals at the 2026 FIFA World Cup are the most ever by a player aged 30+ in a single tournament.

The previous record was held by... Lionel Messi in 2022 (7).

Eternal.
