At the end of 2021, Ronaldo and Messi still represent the highest level of world football, Messi once again won this year's Golden Ball Award, a total of 7 times to win the award, constantly creating new history; C Ronaldo bravely climbed the peak at the age of 36, officially scored 800 goals in his career, has completed 802 goals, and is also the king of the Champions League, personal career monopoly Champions League historical goal list and assist list, completed 140 goals and 42 assists.
This season, Ronaldo continued to maintain his peak in the Champions League, and almost single-handedly carried Manchester United to the Champions League knockout rounds, scoring 6 goals in 5 Champions League games this season, of which 2 goals were killer goals and 1 goal was a draw, which is the king of adversity. Unfortunately, Ronaldo's role in the team is not as obvious as in the past, resulting in two consecutive seasons in the case of personal state, the team's record fluctuates, after joining Manchester United this summer, Manchester United directly avalanche this season, from last season's Premier League second to now the Premier League 6th, early lost the opportunity to compete for the title.
Messi's situation is better than C Ronaldo, all competitions steadily impact the championship trophy, The Ligue 1 champion basically does not have much suspense, this summer also won the Copa America championship, the World Preliminary Tournament also qualified ahead of schedule, and the sword pointed out the World Cup championship trophy of the year. In terms of personal data, Messi is inferior to C Ronaldo. According to statistics, C Ronaldo scored a total of 47 goals in all competitions this year, including the national team and clubs, ranking 4th in the list of top five league players in 2021, second only to Levan's 69 goals, Mbappe's 52 goals, and Haland's 49 goals; Messi ranked behind C Ronaldo with 43 goals.
C Ronaldo's 47 goals fell into a spell, it is difficult to hide the team's 3-line avalanche, C Luo this year in the league, The European Cup, the World Preliminary Round three-line avalanche, the league has a cliff-like decline in Juve and Manchester United; the European Cup as the defending champion missed the top 8, and was out early in the case of a stronger lineup configuration than in 2016; the World Preliminary Round was squeezed by Serbia to the play-offs, and the play-off opponent was Italy, which may not qualify for the World Cup.
In these events with serious declines in performance, C Ronaldo has come out of his heyday, proving that Ronaldo's role in the team is plummeting, giving people the feeling that he only has his own strength, whether in Manchester United or Portugal, the number of his kills and adversity goals has become more and more numerous. I have to say that C Ronaldo is still affected by age, after all, it is 36 years old, and the latest value information from the "German transfer", the value of C Ronaldo fell to 35 million euros, and the last period was 45 million euros. According to the value information of the past 4 years, C Ronaldo has also plummeted, from 120 million euros in January 2018 to 35 million euros today, all the way down, shrinking by 85 million euros, but it is still the world's first value among peers, worthy of the football model. Not surprisingly, Ronaldo will continue to set new records, but it is difficult to compete for the Champions League, the World Cup and the European Championship.
