Lionel Messi was certainly a sad lonely figure after the final whistle of the Group D 2018 world cup opening match between Argentina and debutants Iceland . The four-time world best player of the year admitted that he still feels bad after his missed penalty cost Argentina a World Cup win, but he is looking forward to making things right in coming matches . The match ended 1-1 much to the dismay of the 30 year old who failed to convert so many other chances during a frustrating afternoon .
Speaking after the match, Messi said:
'It would have changed the script. It was the advantage.Obviously it hurts me to have missed the penalty. They would have opened a little more and we could have found more spaces.
'We have the bitterness of not being able to take the three points that we deserved. To start with winning is always important, now we have to think about Croatia. We will try to pass this quickly.'
