A new failure in Champions League .. Cristiano Ronaldo watches you and laughs, Lionel Messi!

Perhaps the biggest winner from bidding farewell to Argentine Lionel Messi and his French team, Paris Saint-Germain, to the European Champions League competitions for 2022-23 season early is Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, the star of Saudi club Al-Nasr.

Once again, Paris Saint-Germain failed in Champions League, after falling to Bayern Munich in round of sixteen with a score of 3-0 in two-legged aggregate, after losing the first leg in the “Princes’ Park” with a goal without a response, then losing the return to Allianz Arena, with two clean goals.

Ronaldo, although he did not compete in the Champions League this season in first place, may be the biggest winner in the tournament so far, and he is the first beneficiary of Paris Saint-Germain’s early exit from tournament.

Dreams turned into a mirage
Before start of the season, the irony of Cristiano Ronaldo was that he would not compete in Champions League for the first time since the 2002-2003 season, although he started the season with Manchester United before moving to Al-Nasr Saudi Arabia.

Ronaldo tried to leave Manchester United before the start of the season in order to continue playing in Champions League, but his attempts did not succeed, before terminating his contract with “Red Devils” last November, and moving to Al-Nassr in January 2023.

Lionel Messi’s fans were happy with this fact, because the Argentine had an ideal opportunity to get close to Ronaldo’s goalscoring numbers in Champions League, and try to snatch top scorer in tournament.

The dreams of Messi fans quickly turned into a mirage, although the Argentine managed to add four goals to his tally in the tournament, all of which naturally came in the group stage.

Ronaldo tops Champions League top scorer table with 140 goals, while Messi comes second after scoring 129 goals during his career, but these numbers will hold until the end of the current season at least.

last chance?
Messi’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires at the end of the current season, and talk about his future is sure to increase after bidding farewell to the Champions League.

And with many reports about Messi’s future, and talk of his transfer to a club in Saudi Roshen League next season, the opportunity to break Ronaldo’s numbers may be completely destroyed.

It is true that it is premature at the moment, but speculation confirms that Messi may have danced his last dance in Champions League.

Who laughs last!
Ronaldo’s fans are now ones laughing at Messi’s farewell to Champions League, after “Madeira missile” was mocked for several months.

The fact that Messi was unable to influence PSG’s run in Champions League for two consecutive seasons only adds to the irony.

Ronaldo’s numbers are shocking now in Champions League, and it depends only on Messi’s future and his decision at the end of season.
