(VIDEO) He tried to imitate Lionel Messi, ended up making one of the bloopers of the year

There is no doubt that Lionel Messi is an important reference in the world of soccer. For many, the Argentine player is one of the best in all of history and now, he is entering a new stage far from Europe, but where he continues to give a lot to talk about. On this occasion, a renowned star tried to carry out the iconic penalty of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez at FC Barcelona in his club. However, things did not go as expected.

Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi made a curious penalty at the time at FC Barcelona. The South American players made an unprecedented play, only seen before in Ajax in the 80s, where a player does not kick the penalty, but decides to pass it forward to another player and he scores the goal. Now, two Galatasaray players tried to make
said action, but ended in a resounding failure.

36 minutes had passed and the score was 0-0 when the visiting team found themselves with a penalty to take the lead. The number 7 placed the ball and prepared to kick, but when he reached the ball he chose to touch it to the side for the Argentine scorer, Mauro Icardi, to enter at full speed. The goalkeeper had remained on the floor, lying on his left, and Icardi reached for the ball with the goal at his mercy to finish, but incredibly his shot went wide. Without a doubt, an action that will travel the world due to its incredible nature.

Is it allowed to make this type of penalties?

By regulation, the action is completely legal since Aktürkoğlu touched the ball forward (and directed it a little to his left), so it remained in play. Of course, the only one who knew that was going to happen was Icardi, who ran towards him faster than his rivals. But, unusually, he couldn't convert. Fortunately for him, before halftime he was able to score a goal to put Galatasaray ahead 1-0. At the time, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez executed this perfectly.
