Well, this doesn't happen very often.
Actually, it's only the 11th time this has happened out of the 54 penalties that Lionel Messi has taken for Barcelona.
The 42nd minute of the Catalan club's La Liga fixture against Levante on Sunday saw Messi blast a penalty wide of goal after he was brought down in the box by Loukas Vyntra, who received a red card for his reckless challenge.
It's a nice reminder that Messi is indeed a human being just like the rest of us. Or, well, at least he is until he scores his next phenomenal goal for Barcelona.
