But that's the beauty of Barca. Our most important games last season didn't rely on penalties. We didn't take any against Madrid or Atletico. Not against Juventus, Bayern, PSG.
We did against Man City but it wasn't converted.

Like vs Chelsea 2012? he actually didnt miss a penalty for barca after that until late 2013 then since last year he has been weak at them.

Messi actually does well under pressure in pens. Chelsea and Sevilla about the only times he's missed in relative pressure. Yet he has so many more high pressure makes, WC, CA, Clasicos, etc.
Even today, he converts the highest pressure one, the first, but misses the lowest pressure one, the second.
One has to think if it is a case he relaxes and doesn't focus on some of these pens.

When you look at him before shooting the penalty, it just looks obvious that he's gonna miss.
He lost confidence, unfortunately.

Why can he keep his confidence/focus in a classico and lose it in weak games. Opposite mindset.

Messi does literally 10x the good of what you're arguing, he is the catalyst in everything happening forward for us, yet you seem to be stuck on one thing almost every game. I've seen it ever since I joined this forum.
Messi walks. Big news. We all know it, but most of us actually prefer to discuss the good things he does which far outweighs his walking which at times admittedly can be annoying, but not nearly as often as it's for you.
Gotta move on bro. We know you hate his walking, but why not discuss everything else he does instead of being stuck on one thing 24/7?

Let Suarez (today Raki) take the pens please. Apart from that he had a good game. 2 goals, 1 assist, nothing to complain about in such a game.

There's a reason why Messi could play every single Matches without resting, that's because he simply rest on the pitch. There's no way in hell Messi could run 24/7 like pedro or suarez and still produce magical performance every game and the most important thing is to remain injury free. That's also another reason why Messi is relatively injury free for the most of his career. Remember when he had muscle injuries, that was because he was overplayed and played too much in short time. I honestly much rather Messi walk than him running his ass off going after a loose ball and end up getting injured. Obviously Messi will need to try harder if we need a goal or losing, but for now, I'm fine with whatever Messi decides to do on the pitch as long as we keep on winning.
Messi loves to conserve his energy for opportunities where he could unleash and attack. Lucho is smart to surround Messi with hard working players to win back loose back. I trust Him and Lucho, and if they are fine with Messi walking on the pitch, us fans should not complain too much..

Barçapocalypse NOW!
It's not about the amount of penalties taken, it's about the penalties that refs take away from us and then give to you... Or something like that...
