Lionel Messi rarely gets to take penalty kicks since at Paris Saint-Germain, the responsibility is often shared between Kylian Mbappé and Neymar Jr.

Nonetheless, the 35-year-old took the chance for the Argentina national team in their international friendly against Honduras in the United States.

The veteran forward converted his penalty kick chance to make the score 2-0 heading into halftime. The goal allows Messi to continue his excellent start to the 2022-23 football season heading into the FIFA World Cup.
