Lionel Messi is widely regarded as the greatest player in the world, but even he is human, and humans are, invariably, flawed. So what's Messi's one weakness? Penalty kicks, apparently.
The Barcelona megastar squandered another spot kick, his third in La Liga since 2013 - which is the most of any player in that time - in Sunday's match against Athletic Bilbao.
The weak attempt means the Argentine has now missed 14 of the 63 penalties he has taken throughout his career with the Blaugrana.
The stop also saw Bilbao goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz join a rather exclusive club:
