The Argentine national team qualified for the round of 16 as the first in their group. One of the most commented moments of the match against Poland was Messi's missed penalty, which didn't end up harming his team.

Argentina lived up to expectations in the group stage of the 2022 Qatar World Cup. The Albiceleste defeated Poland 2-0 in their last match, qualifying as first in their group. They will now face Australia in the round of 16.

Lionel Messi was one of the protagonists of the match, although not necessarily for a good reason. The '10' missed a penalty when the game was still tied. This ultimately had no consequences and his team achieved victory. The athlete made very interesting post-match statements.

The Argentine referred to the penalty he couldn't score. "We came out stronger after missing the penalty. We were convinced we were going to win the game, that the first goal would come. Once we score, the game would go the way we wanted," said the superstar.

"This is a team that plays. Strength lies in unity," he added. Regarding the match against Australia, Lionel Messi seemed confident in what Argentina can bring. "We have to prepare ourselves as we always do. We know it will be tough and, well, we took another step forward."
