Two legs 3-2 score, Paris defeated Real Madrid with 1 goal and missed the Champions League quarterfinals, some fans pointed out that Paris lost to Messi, because the Argentine superstar lost a penalty in the first leg. It may be a little unfair to say so, but in 2 games against Real Madrid 0 goals and 0 assists, Messi did not come up with the best performance, the 34-year-old Messi has been out of the Champions League for 7 consecutive years, and he has been disappointed again when he came to Paris this season to dream of winning the Champions League.
Looking back, if Messi scored a penalty in the first leg, the final score would be 3-3, and according to UEFA's latest rules, the game would go into extra time, and Paris still had a chance to qualify. Counting the last leg, Messi has been unable to score against Real Madrid for 9 consecutive times, and suffered the longest ball drought against Real Madrid in his career. And these 9 times against Real Madrid, Messi is 0 goals and 0 assists.
Messi is desperate to win the Champions League again, and remembers that when he was at Barca, Messi promised to bring the Big Ears Cup back to camp Nou again at the Gamber Cup, but he never did it. Since winning the Champions League in 2014-15, Messi has been out of the Champions League for 7 consecutive years and has become the "Champions League 16 Lang" for 2 consecutive years, and Boss Mei seems to be getting farther and farther away from the Champions League.
Messi was the most prosaic of the MMN Trident in the second leg of the match against Real Madrid, with Neymar scoring 7.3 points for an assist, Mbappe scoring a goal and scoring 7.6 points, and Messi scoring 0 goals and 0 assists for 7.0 points. After coming to Paris, Messi played a more organizational role, and this season he has scored only 7 goals in 25 appearances in Paris, which is the worst stat of his career, knowing that he has scored 8 goals after 25 games in the 2005-06 season.
There is an argument that messi's speed of decline is too surprising, and he is as close as Messi when he played for Barca last season. After Paris was out, there were a lot of remarks on social media such as "Messi is old", "Messi is not good", the same 34-year-old player, Benzema scored 3 goals in this game, becoming the hero of Real Madrid's turnover to advance to the top 8, while the "invisible" Messi did nothing, in any case, Messi's Champions League trip this season has ended.
