In the second leg of the Champions League knockout stage, Paris lost 0:2 at the Allianz Arena, defeated Bayern Munich 0:3 on aggregate, was blocked in the top 8 for two consecutive years, and was optimistic about winning the championship every year, but it was broken every year, it is foreseeable that regardless of whether Galti led the team to the league championship this season, Paris is destined to be unpeaceful this summer.
With the exit of Paris, Messi also ended this season's European competition, this is the first time in Messi's career that he has been reduced to the Champions League 16th in three consecutive seasons, since the last Champions League won the Champions League has been 14-15 seasons, after the World Cup victory, the Champions League title has become the biggest wish of Messi club, but unfortunately, another defeat means that Messi has been unable to achieve his wish for the Big Ear Cup this season. However, although Messi is out of the game, he still has no big resistance to winning his eighth Ballon d'Or this season.
The Golden Ball Awards ushered in reform last year, and the selection period was not a whole year, but an entire season, which means that last year's Qatar World Cup was still in the selection time of the Golden Ball Awards, and Messi, as the captain of the World Cup champion and the World Cup Golden Ball winner, can still steadily enter the top three even if the remaining 2 months of the game decline. Of course, Messi has contributed 18 goals and 16 assists so far this season, while he has completed the club's 700 goal mark and scored 1,000 goals in his career.
In addition to the World Cup title and the bonus of personal data, the opponents who compete with Messi for the Ballon d'Or are also all crotch-pulling. The first is Mbappe, who is also a teammate in Paris, like Messi, was also eliminated from the Champions League, although Mbappe's personal data is better, but under the same Ligue 1 champion, the French Super Cup, the lack of World Cup champions Mbappe has no hard results to compete with Messi for the golden ball. The second is Haaland, Majin Buu was very fierce at the beginning of the season, breaking a number of Premier League records in a row, but failing to participate was Haaland's first hard injury, and he must have strong championship honors to match Messi, such as the Champions League champion, but in last year's annual selection, the data was enough to explode and Benzema who won the treble also lost to Messi, so Haaland even if he really won the Champions League, he could not compete with Messi.
As for the two La Liga gods of Lewandowski and Benzema, it is difficult to compete, Lewandowski's Barca was eliminated from the Champions League early, and the Europa League was also eliminated by Manchester United, and the Polish striker has no chance. Real Madrid also retain the possibility of winning the title on three fronts, but Benzema's goal statistics have slipped this season due to injuries and he has proven that the Champions League winner cannot match the World Cup winners.
In fact, this situation has already been played out once two years ago, when Messi contributed 38 goals and 12 assists throughout the season, leading Argentina to the Copa America and Barça to the Copa del Rey, while his rival Lewandowski's statistics are better, but Bayern did not win the Champions League. Although Jorginho won the Champions League and the European Cup, his personal data was average, and he finally won the Ballon d'Or. So even if Messi is out, he is basically sure to win his eighth Ballon d'Or.
