How Messi's 'bodyguard' Rodrigo de Paul reacted to Leo's penalty miss v Ecuador

After Leo Messi missed his penalty kick against Ecuador, Rodrigo de Paul was the first player to come up to Leo and calm him down.

“We’re going to win! We’re going to win!” Rodrigo said.

And that’s what happened – Emiliano Martinez saved the first two Ecuador efforts while the other Argentina players were precise from the spot.

Argentina will face Canada or Venezuela in the Copa America semifinals.
