Messi vs Ronaldo Champions League record as Leo is knocked out in round of 16 again

Lionel Messi was knocked out of the Champions League round of 16 with his team PSG on Wednesday. The Parisians were defeated 2-0 on the night and 3-0 on aggregate by Bayern Munich.

Messi and PSG were also knocked out in the round of 16 last season by Real Madrid.

However, Messi remains one of the greatest players in Champions League history. Just as Cristiano Ronaldo, who no longer plays his football in Europe.

Now let's look at the stats between the two legends in the Champions League.

Appearances: Messi 163-183 Ronaldo

Goals: Messi 129-141 Ronaldo

Assists: Messi 40-41 Ronaldo

Knockout goals: Messi 49-67 Ronaldo

Trophies won: Messi 4-5 Ronaldo.

Ronaldo still edges Messi when it comes to Champions League records. However, Messi continues to play in Europe and is two years younger than the Portuguese. Perhaps he can level up.
