Lionel Messi misses penalty as Nashville thrash Inter Miami in MLS
Messi’s record from the penalty spot is poor by his sky-high standards, including missing twice during the 2026 World Cup. Forward Lionel Messi missed yet another penalty and was booked as Inter Miami suffered a 4-1 defeat at Nashville in a top-of-the-table Major League Soccer clash on Saturday. England’s Sam Surridge and Germany’s Hany Mukhtar scored second-half goals for the hosts, Nashville, in a showdown between the MLS overall leaders. Argentina and Miami captain Messi was denied from the penalty spot in the first half and was issued a yellow card in the 59th minute but also assisted Miami’s lone goal, scored by Telasco Segovia. Messi, the 2022 World Cup winner, struck both posts in second-half stoppage time.
