It just wasn't Argentina's day and their efforts in front of goal could perhaps be characterised by Messi's errant effort just before half-time.
As the ball sat up nicely for him just outside the box, the Barca star took aim, but could only skew the ball well wide and out for a throw in.
It was one of those moments where the player didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
