VIDEO: Gerard Pique’s attempt at THAT Lionel Messi penalty didn’t go to plan

Lionel Messi's decision to pass a penalty to Luis Suarez has had more than enough airtime recently.

While the Argentine has generated plenty of headlines for his selfless spot kick, many of us were unaware that one of his Barca teammates attempted something similar a few years ago... 'attempted' being the operative word. Back in 2012, several Barcelona stars took place in a special indoor football match, with sides managed by Pep Guardiola and his successor, the late Tito Vilanova. After winning a penalty, Gerard Pique decided to step up himself. Instead of shooting, he also opts to pass the ball to a team mate. Seemingly catching Pique by surprise, the ball is passed back to him and he fails to react in time to tap the ball into the goal. The incident takes place around the 10 minte mark in the video below. https://youtu.be/AiPlPp6SKD0
