Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi return to the Champions League race track. The two brightest football stars of our days are starting the race again. On Tuesday, the Champions League returns, and along with it - the battle between C. Ronaldo and L. Messi for the title of the first centurion.
The 32-year-old star of Portuguese football is five accurate shots away from his hundredth Champions League goal. And if C. Ronaldo could previously feel more relaxed because of the presence of the "Barcelona" wizard, now there is no time to relax.
The 29-year-old Argentinian scored 10 goals in 5 matches, and now he is seven shots away from his hundredth goal.
At the start of this season, it seemed like C. Ronaldo was the absolute leader, but after triumphing in Euro 2016, the Portuguese had a tougher start to the club season, while L. Messi continued to shine.
He scored three out of seven goals for his team, when the Glasgow "Celtic" club was destroyed at the "Camp Nou" stadium.
He scored three more goals in the match against "Manchester City".
It is no secret that C. Ronaldo needs to regain that magical touch that used to lead to goals.
Right now, C. Ronaldo is experiencing the longest goal drought in the Champions League in his career. The Portuguese has not scored in 433 minutes.
However, no player in history has scored more goals in the knockout stages of the Champions League than C. Ronaldo. 44 accurate shots adorn the CV of the "Real" star, and he will seek to increase this number on Wednesday.
"Real" will meet the "Napoli" club at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium.
This week we will see if L. Messi can reduce the gap from C. Ronaldo in the race to a hundred goals.
On Tuesday, "Barcelona" will travel to the "Parc des Princes" stadium to face "Paris Saint-Germain".
So the Champions League returns with all its fire, heating up the hearts of football fans.
