LIONEL MESSI went viral after a shock penalty miss during Inter Miami’s devastating defeat in the MLS
Messi, 38, is considered by many as the greatest football star of all time after winning every single honour available as well as eight Ballon d’Or awards during a glittering 21-year career.
However, the star forward was far from his best on Saturday when Inter Miami lost 3-0 to Charlotte in North Carolina.
But the Argentina captain had the chance to break the deadlock for the visitors before Idan Toklomati’s hat-trick.
Javier Mascherano‘s side earned a penalty kick in the half-hour mark following a VAR review and Messi took it.
The away end was getting ready to celebrate their team’s first goal of the night.
And some even went overboard as they suggested the MLS superstar is “washed”.
One fan tweeted: “He’s actually washed.”

Another commented: “Messi just score the pen bro.”
A third wrote: “Not so easy to score penalties now ay?”
This fan said: “He might be washed.”
And that one posted: “Horrendous attempt.”
