Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) was eliminated from the Champions League 2022-23 after a 2-0 loss to Bayern Munich on Wednesday night. Following the loss, Cristiano Ronaldo supporters began trolling Lionel Messi on Twitter.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) was eliminated from the Champions League after a 3-0 aggregate loss to Bayern Munich on Wednesday night. This result has ignited a big argument between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, a former attacker for PSG, contributed to Bayern Munich’s dominating 3-0 triumph. With a 1-0 advantage from the first leg in Paris, the 33-year-old scored the first goal in a 2-0 second-leg victory to help the Bundesliga powerhouse advance to the quarterfinals.
El Chadaille Bitshiabu, a 17-year-old substitute, made a defensive error just after the hour mark, allowing the Cameroonian international to score, and Serge Gnabry sealed another European loss for the affluent French side.
PSG failed to go past the round of 16 for the fifth time in seven years due to Bayern’s defensive tenacity in Europe this season; this was their seventh clean sheet in eight matches.
After advancing to the quarterfinals of this year’s championship, the superstar of Bayern Munich, Thoma Muller, remarked, “Against Messi, results at all levels are consistently favourable. When he played for Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo was our problem on the club level. I have the highest regard for Messi’s efforts at the World Cup.”
As a member of Manchester United and Real Madrid, Ronaldo has won five Champions League titles. The striker has created history by becoming the first player to score in two finals for two different winning teams, first in the 2008 final between Manchester United and Chelsea and again in the 120th minute of the 2014 final against Atletico Madrid via penalty kicks. Messi has won four Champions League championships to date. Messi has scored 129 goals in Champions League, while Ronaldo has scored 140.
Supporters of the Al-Nassr player flocked to Twitter to ridicule Messi, the 38-year-old opponent of the Al-Nassr striker. “”Of course, Ronaldo is the greatest of all time for a reason,” remarked one CR7 supporter, while another added, “Ronaldo made Bayern look like a mediocre squad, Lionel Messi will NEVER be that man. He may script his world cups and score against Baguette makers all he wants, but he will NEVER surpass Ronaldo.”
