Lionel Messi was eliminated with his team in the round of 16 of the Champions League on Wednesday. The Parisians were defeated FC Bayern Munich with 0:2 (overall with 0:3).
Also, Messi and PSG failed against Real Madrid in the round of 16 last season.
Still, Messi remains one of the greatest players in Champions League history. As well as Cristianowho is no longer set in Europe.
Let’s take a look at the stats of the two legends in the Champions League.
Appearances: Messi 163-183 Ronaldo
Tore: Messi 129-141 Ronaldo
Assists: Messi 40-41 Ronaldo
Ko-Tore: Messi 49-67 Ronaldo
Trophies won: Messi 4-5 Ronaldo
Ronaldo is still ahead of Messi in terms of Champions League achievements. Yet Leo Messi continues to play in Europe and is two years younger than the Portuguese. So he still has time to catch up.
