Argentina captain Lionel Messi hit the headlines after missing a controversial penalty against Poland on Thursday in the World Cup's Group C assignment.
With the teams tied on 0-0, Polish keeper Wojciech Szczesny was adjudged to have fouled Messi and after VAR consultation, the referee pointed to the penalty spot.
