Neither Lionel Messi nor Cristiano Ronaldo will be in the Champions League quarterfinals for the first time since 2005. The two greatest players of the current generation were both eliminated from the competition this week. Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman says “it’s a shame because both are great players who normally go very deep in this tournament.” Messi scored a goal but missed a penalty as Barcelona was eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain. Ronaldo and his Juventus teammates were ousted by Porto the night before. Ronaldo has won five Champions League titles in his career. Messi has won four.
