The Argentine accomplished a record earlier today, but he showed that not all of his attempts are set to find the back of the net.

Well, Messi showed today that he is human after all...

The Argentine may have set one more record today, but he failed to score a brace in the most embarrassing way ever. 

With the match between Slavia and Barcelona nearing its end, and with the hosts pushing hard to get an equalizer, Messi found himself in a three-against-one defender situation, and just when one of his team-mates handed him the ball inside the box, he was not able to send it to the back of the net. 

What really stands out is that Messi's shot was not headed towards the goal, which makes us think that he chose the wrong foot to hit the ball with.

Have a look for yourself and see why fans were baffled by his miss in front of goal (Image might be geo-restricted).

Despite this miss, Barcelona are not top of their group due to Borussia Dortmund's loss against Inter, but surely Messi will try to save face when he takes the pitch one more time in a UEFA Champions League game.
