Ronaldo- Messi's Champions League Rivalry May Have Ended with Bayern Munich Win over PSG: Reports
Paris Saint-Germain’s PSG hopes of winning the Champions League shattered last night after they were downed by Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
he defeat did not only put an end to PSG’s bid to claim the much-coveted Champions League title but it also proved to be a major blow for Lionel Messi.
The star PSG striker, who may have played his final Champions League game, now needs 12 more goals to overtake Cristiano Ronaldo on the list of the tournament’s all-time top goalscorers.
Messi’s current contract at PSG will expire at the end of this summer and the Argentine has been linked with a summer transfer to Major League Soccer MLS outfit Inter Miami.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s stint in Europe may be over after signing a record-breaking deal with Al-Nassr FC but his brilliance in the Champions League could very well remain unmatched.
While Ronaldo currently has 140 goals to his name in the Champions League, Messi has found the back of the net 129 times in the Europe’s premier competition.
Needless to say, if Messi decides to join MLS next season, it would certainly be enough for Ronaldo to keep his legacy intact in the Champions League.
Ronaldo, in his illustrious career, has scored in the Champions League while playing for Manchester United, Juventus and Real Madrid. The Argentine, on the other hand, has scored for Barcelona and PSG in the Europe’s top-flight competition.
