"Leo showed he's human. We support him. He just had a bad day, but we know that he can give us the victory at any moment of the game. I hope he can be better for next match against Croatia."Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho echoed Aguero's sentiments by claiming that no matter how big the player might be, a mistake like Messi's is bound to affect them.
Mourinho has reiterated that Messi is a human for whom the missed penalty will have a significant psychological impact for the remainder of the tournament.
"No, when you miss a penalty in the World Cup, in the moment when the team needs a goal, that affects you," he told RT.
"He was trying, the one against one [defender], the one against two, the one against three... it was difficult for him, in spite of that he hit a few shots. Probably even in Superman, even in super players, they are humans, they have feelings and I think the penalty [miss] affected him."
