“If Lionel Messi Can Miss Penalties…”- Ryan Reynolds’ $265K Wrexham Superstar Uses PSG Legend’s Reference to Assess Big Defeat

Since the past few seasons, Ryan Reynolds and his soccer club, Wrexham AFC have constantly been in the public eye. Reynolds’ team recently went on a dream run in the English FA Cup. However, the dream run came to a heartbreaking end after they lost to Sheffield United. Wrexham AFC’s star striker, Paul Mullin, shockingly missed a penalty in the replay fixture against the blades.

Had he scored, that would’ve given Reynolds’ side an added advantage and the lead too. However, after the game, Paul Mullin made a stunning mention of Argentine soccer legend Lionel Messi.

Fans all over the soccer world were stunned after looking at their performance and the quality of soccer.

The Welsh soccer side’s heroic display raised many eyebrows from across the globe. Paul Mullin’s penalty miss also upset quite a few fans. For the simple reason that Reynolds’ side could have possibly won that game. Post the game, a journalist did ask the super striker about his views on the game. The journalist then hinted towards the penalty miss. However, Mullin didn’t flinch even a bit and was confident with his answer.

Mullin confidently replied, “If Lionel Messi can miss penalties, I’m pretty sure Paul Mullin can”. Quite a few fans were bemused by that statement initially. However, they then realized the depth of it. Mullin was getting unnecessary hate because he missed the penalty. But what he said wasn’t wrong because Lionel Messi and the biggest soccer stars have goofed up in tense situations, too.

The super striker then also clarified that he was calm enough to get this incident past him. Honestly, the Welsh soccer side had already overachieved in the cup competition. The majority of the fans did not find dwelling over the situation worth it anymore. Since then, the fans and Wrexham AFC players have saved that game as a lesson and continued to move forward.

Ryan Reynolds’ long-term aspiration of getting his soccer club to the topmost flight of English soccer is definitely on track.

Reynolds sets his eyes on the promotion!

The Deadpool star took over the Welsh soccer side back in 2020. Even after being the world’s third oldest professional club, Wrexham AFC had sadly become quite irrelevant. Through the decades, they had fallen down the ranks, which also could be blamed on poor ownership. But the Canadian actor and Rob McElhenney appeared like guardian angels to save the club. Their shocking takeover did stir up a controversy in the soccer universe.

However, the fruits of it are now clearly visible. After the tragic end to their FA Cup run, even the Wrexham AFC fans urged their celebrity owner to keep his sight fixed on automatic promotion. Reynolds’ soccer side is currently in the Vanarama National League battling for automatic promotion against Notts County.
