Former Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny continued his impressive form in the 2022 Qatar World Cup by denying Lionel Messi from the penalty spot in their final group stage game. The Poland international recovered from conceding the spot-kick with a smart save to deny the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner.
Szczesny has played in all three of Poland's World Cup group games this month, keeping two clean sheets. However, Czeslaw Michniewicz's side face elimination from the tournament with them facing Argentina in their final game.
Poland were looking to qualify for the last 16 by avoiding defeat, and could even ensure their place in the knockout rounds even with a loss, depending on the goal swing between Mexico and Saudi Arabia.
