The King of Football Messi created another miracle! He wrote 37 times and advanced 100% in the group stage, but Ronaldo stopped three times

A seemingly ordinary group match of the American League Cup, but it has become the focus because of a person's data again. The protagonist is our football king Messi. At Miami International, he defeated the Mexican Cougars 3-1 at home, and with the penalty win (2 points) and regular win (3 points) in the first two rounds, Miami ranked first in the group with 8 points in total, and advanced from the top of the B Group of the League Cup to the knockout stage. Although Messi was absent, the Argentine legend still set a domineering record: Messi has participated in 21 years of his career, and has advanced 100% of all the 37 official cup group stages he has participated in. This is an unprecedented existence that the latter is hard to catch up. This is the strength and luck of the king of football.

21 years since its debut in 2004, Messi has never stopped the group stage in any official cup, whether in the World Cup, the Copa America, the Olympics or the Champions League, even in the U20 Championship in his youth. This terrifying stability and luck is almost impossible to find a second person in Green Land's history.

U-20 World Youth Championship: 1 promotion

South American U-20 Championship: 1 promotion

Beijing Olympics: 1 promotion

In contrast, Ronaldo, his luck was much worse, and he stopped in the group stage three times. Although Ronaldo has shined in many competitions, his performance in the group stage has not been fully attended and qualifying:

2004 Athens Olympics: Portugal's National Olympic Team was eliminated in the group;

2005-06 Champions League: Manchester United's group was eliminated in the group;

2014 Brazil World Cup: Portugal only ranked third in the group and missed the goal.

The most impressive one is the 2014 World Cup, which was a major competition in which Ronaldo was at his peak. However, due to Portugal's first game being defeated by Germany 4-0, although he scored 4 points in the last two games, he was still squeezed out of the top 16 by the United States due to his goal difference disadvantage. Come on, young player Ronaldo, retire after winning the World Cup.
