Even the best slip up sometimes.
Lionel Messi might have broken pretty much every record in football, but he sometimes has his off-days.
Barcelona’s all-time record scorer had put his team 3-0 up against Levante from the penalty spot, but when given another opportunity to score from 12 yards he fluffed his lines, sending the kick sailing over the bar.

Lionel Messi is as bad at penalties as he's good at everything else in football.

Messi has now missed 6 of his last 12 penalties, though few have cost Barcelona league points or cup progress.
There is one notable exception though.
