Before Bruno Fernandes' infamous Manchester United penalty miss, Emi Martinez claims Lionel Messi's counsel helped him "create chaos"

Posted : 26 April 2023
The strategy peaked during Argentina's successful World Cup run, namely in the thrilling final against France and the quarterfinal victory over the Netherlands.

However, the penalty strategy gained notoriety after Cristiano Ronaldo decided without taking one when playing for Manchester United versus Villa in September 2021.

Bruno Fernandes attempted to score but missed, which prompted Martinez to do the now-famous provocative dance to the jeers of the home crowd.

Martinez used a similar strategy in Lusail, which helped him and Messi win their first World Cup and earned him the FIFA Award for Best Goalkeeper for his performances during the competition.

However, when the International Football Association Board (IFAB) controversially implemented stricter rules on goalie techniques during shootouts for future tournaments, it is probable that we won't witness such acts on international football's largest stage again.
