For various reasons, we have not seen Messi play on the field for nearly a month, and I have to say that there is still a trace of nostalgia. However, due to the unfortunate infection with the virus before, after all, physical health is the most important, Messi is still training alone and actively recovering, and has basically achieved the level of being able to participate in the competition. Not surprisingly, the next game in Paris, Messi has a chance to finish his first game of the new year! After all, today's big Paris still needs Messi's blessing very much, although there is no desire and no demand in the league, it is already far ahead of the second place by more than ten points, but the Champions League they are very much needed, and urgent!
So at present, Messi's performance in 2022 is still hanging on zero, so how are its two competitors Levan and Ronaldo performing? First of all, looking at Levan, I have to say that Levan is really the most efficient goal machine in football in the past two years! He has played in two games this year, and both have scored goals in both, with Levan scoring a direct hat-trick in the just-concluded Bayern league match, scoring four goals in both games. With such goal efficiency, perhaps 2022 will be a year for Levan. Perhaps the Ballon d'Or has not failed him, having scored 23 goals in the Bundesliga this season, the most goalscored in the top five leagues.
With 15 league rounds remaining, he not only has a chance to win the Bundesliga Golden Boot again, but also has a great chance of winning the European Golden Boot. You know, since Messi won the European Golden Boot for three consecutive years in 16 to 18 years, no one has been able to achieve this achievement! As long as Levan can lead Bayern further in the Champions League, or even win the title, even if the World Cup at the end of the year cannot lead Poland to create a miracle, he is likely to win the Ballon d'Or! Secondly, looking at the performance of C Ronaldo, in fact, C Ronaldo, like Messi, has recently suffered certain injuries. His thigh was injured in training and in United's last two games, Cristiano Ronaldo has not been on the squad. However, C Ronaldo's injury is not a big problem, and it only needs more rest to heal.
C Ronaldo only participated in one game this year, that game at that time, Manchester United lost 0-1 at home to Wolves, C Ronaldo's performance was not particularly good, after all, he lost, it was not good for anyone! It is worth mentioning that this season's Performance of Manchester United in the league is also mediocre, and it can even be described as a slump. After 20 rounds, they are only seventh in the table, and if the team can't make timely adjustments in the following season, they will most likely not be able to reach the final four. In this way, it is impossible to qualify for next season's Champions League through the league rankings, and how easy is it to win by other means, such as the Champions League and the Europa League?
