On January 27, Beijing time, in the semifinals of the Saudi Super Cup, Riyadh won a 1-3 loss to Jeddah United, Cristiano Ronaldo did not qualify for the final, and temporarily bid farewell to the 35th title of his career, still 8 crowns behind Messi!
Last year's World Cup, considered Cristiano Ronaldo's "last dance", as a result, he was reduced from the main player to the substitute, only scored a penalty, Portugal also stopped in the quarterfinals, and may well miss the Hercules Cup completely.
After the World Cup, Ronaldo left Europe and came to Saudi Arabia to play, thinking that it would be a "dimensionality reduction blow", but who expected to be hit by a real blow!
In 2 official matches, the president did not win, and when the team was behind, he could not reproduce the true colors of the "king of adversity", and could only watch Riyadh win and lose, and did not qualify for the final of the Saudi Super Cup.
As a result, the total number of titles in Ronaldo's career so far is still 34: 5 Champions Leagues, 3 Premier League, 4 La Liga, 1 FA Cup, 2 League Cups, 2 Copa del Rey, 1 Italian Cup, 1 Portuguese Super Cup, 2 Community Shields, 2 Spanish Super Cups, 2 Serie Super Cups, 3 UEFA Super Cups, 4 Club World Cups, 1 European Cup, 1 UEFA Nations League title.
What about Messi? The club has 4 Champions Leagues, 10 La Liga, 7 Copa del Rey, 8 Spanish Super Cups, 3 UEFA Super Cups, 3 Club World Cups, 1 Ligue 1, 1 French Super Cup, and the national team is 1 Copa America, 1 European and American Cup, and just won the World Cup last year, plus the World Youth Championship and Olympic gold medals, a total of 42 titles, 8 more than Ronaldo!
However, Ronaldo still has two titles to compete for this season: the top of the league table, one game less than one point ahead; The Copa del Rey has reached the quarterfinals. Of course, Messi also has Ligue 1, the French Cup and, most importantly, the Champions League to contend with.
