As we wrote a few days ago, this edition of the Champions League It has been orphaned of great stars of European football. Kylian Mbappe, Leo Messi, Cristiano RonaldoNeymar, Haaland… However, the absence of the Argentine and the Portuguese is beginning to be nothing new.
Cristiano Ronaldo
After nine Champions Leagues lifted between the two, five for the Portuguese and four for the Argentine star, it is difficult to know if we will see either of the two raise the orejona again. However, seeing the latest editions, this option seems really complicated.
In the last four years, Cristiano Ronaldo he has been eliminated three times in the round of 16 of the competition and once in the quarter-finals. Defending the elastic of the Juventus of Turin and of Man Utdthe Portuguese has not been able to achieve what he has achieved with the Real Madrid.
For its part, Leo Messi improve these records a bit. Two eliminations in the round of 16, one in the quarterfinals and a semifinal in the 2018/19 edition. The decline of FC Barcelona and his new and fateful stage in the PSG They have prevented us from seeing the Argentine fight for higher levels in the Champions League.
