Champions League | The white wall stands in the way of the European goal of Messi, Sergio Ramos and Neymar

Win the Champions League with PSG: That was the goal of Leo Messi and Sergio Ramos at their new club, a purpose that now, at least, will have to wait for another season. The loss of the Parisians in the round of 16 against Real Madrid has dealt a serious blow to Nasser Al-Khelaïfi’s entity, and the Qatari’s project, focused exclusively on becoming champions in the highest European competition, has been collapsed in a trice.-

Leo Messi and Sergio Ramos were just two of a long list of players (Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, Danilo Pereira, etc.) who arrived in the French capital last summer with the intention to leave a mark in Europe: five goals and zero assists will be the data that will remain in the Argentine’s performance history in this Champions. Thus, if you look back at the data from last season at the Blaugrana club, where he played even one less game but scored the same goals and collaborated in two others, the decline of the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner is evident .

The legend grows: Leo Messi wins his seventh Ballon d’Or

Gone is the player who always left flashes of quality, the player who made the rival goal tremble in his approaches, the player who resolved matches by himself, the player, in short, who used to make the difference in his splendor at FC Barcelona. If in Paris they thought they were going to see that footballer, they already know they weren’t, and the country’s press is increasingly putting him in the spotlight: “Irrationnel”, headlines the newspaper L’Équipe in its digital version, clearly alluding to Messi’s first name while using the adjective “irrational”.–

With yesterday’s removal, the argentinian has now seven consecutive failures in the top european competition: two in the round of 16 (2020-2021 and 2021-2022), four in the quarterfinals (2015-2016, 2016-2017, 2017-2018, 2019-2020) and one in the semifinals (2018-2019). Statistics against ‘La Pulga’, who is getting bigger and bigger in the Champions League.

Sergio Ramos’ least exciting European season

Likewise, the decline of the now PSG central defender is also palpable, ‘plagued’ by a large number of injuries that they have not allowed him to play a minute in the prestigious tournament. The former captain of Real Madrid saw yesterday how his old team made a historic comeback, one of those in which he was present, and how his desire to add a fifth European Cup to his record vanished completely. –

If the best Messi was left behind, the same has happened with the best Ramos. He played 11,399 minutes as a madridista in the Champions League, during which time he added 15 goals and 8 assists and which helped the white club make history on more than one occasion. Now, at 35 years old, his intentions were to contribute his grain of sand in Paris, helping Mauricio Pochettino’s team to become champions for the first time in European competition, but they will have to settle for lifting the French leagueleague on track with a difference of thirteen points with respect to the second classified.

Neymar’s despair

Two seasons before Leo Messi and Sergio Ramos Neymar arrived at PSG, and he signed with the same goal: to win the Champions League. The Brazilian, in theory, was going to lead that project, but a couple of years later he still hasn’t succeeded, and his frustration is becoming more palpable. So much so that after the elimination of his team at the Santiago Bernabéu, He had a heated discussion with Donnarumma in which he criticized him for his mistake in Karim Benzema’s first goal. –

The Italian goalkeeper, for his part, did not sit idly by, and reminded him that the second goal with which Madrid took the lead began with a loss from the left winger. With both opinions exposed, they were about to come to blows, an unquestionable sign of the frustration that Neymar is experiencing in his own skin: the three Leagues, the French Cup, the League Cup and the French Super Cup, six titles he has won in the French entity, fall short. Very short.

Whether or not he regrets his departure from Barcelona, what is clear is that the journey that has begun this year at PSG with his friend Messi, in addition to Mbappé, is not giving the results that Nasser Al-Khelaïfi had in mind : the trident has only achieved 50% of victories, percentage below that which the Parisians have added (71%) when Pochettino, either by his own decision or due to force majeure, had dispensed with the ‘MNM’.-
