LISBON – Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are two of the best footballers in the world today. Having these players means that a club ensures that it will perform well every season.
Even since 2004-2005, the club that was bought by Ronaldo and Messi has always been able to penetrate the Champions League semifinals. However, unfortunately the positive trend cannot continue this season.
Because the teams defended by Messi and Ronaldo both could not reach the top four of the 2019-2020 Champions League competition. So, for the first time since 2004-2005, Messi and Ronaldio were not named in the Champions League semifinals.

Ronaldo himself has certainly not advanced to the Champions League semifinals because the Juventus he is currently defending have been knocked out since the last 16 of the competition. The club nicknamed the Bianconeri was eliminated from the last 16 after only being able to win a 2-2 draw when they met Olympique Lyon.
The result against Lyon did end in a 2-2 draw, but Juventus lost in terms of away goals from the French League representative club. So, that’s why Juventus fell in the last 16.
Meanwhile, Messi is not in the semifinals of the Champions League this season because Barcelona have just fallen in the quarter-finals. Tragically, Barcelona’s fall was shameful.
