The era of Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) and Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nasr) has come to an end, but Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain), Erling Haaland (Manchester City), and Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid) were considered to continue the lineage. are both performing poorly.
They are very active in each league, but in the UCL, they have to show a performance that lives up to expectations in the second leg of the quarterfinals.
On the 11th (Korean time), the first leg of the quarterfinals of the '2023-2024 UEFA Champions League (UCL)' was concluded.
Arsenal (England), Bayern Munich (Germany), Real Madrid (Spain), and Manchester City (England) drew 2-2 and 3-3, respectively, on the 10th.
And FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid (Spain) each recorded a one-point victory over PSG (France) and Dortmund (Germany) on this day.
As the first game resulted in a draw or a victory by a small margin, attention is focused on the result of the second game.
As this is a tournament that is evaluated as a 'stage of stars', attention is focused not only on the results of the game, but also on the performances of star players, but Mbappe, Holland, and Bellingham, who were evaluated as the next generation of new players, all performed below expectations.
First, Holland and Bellingham faced off directly, but neither player showed much performance. Holland is a player with excellent scoring ability like Ronaldo, but he was silent when he faced Real that day. According to statistics media 'Foot Mob', Holland recorded only one shot in 90 minutes. He only created one opportunity, and his passing accuracy was only 67% (9 attempts, 6 successes). Midfielder Bellingham was not much different. Bellingham played as an attacking midfielder, but only had one shot. He also failed to demonstrate his unique ability to distribute the ball. He attempted a total of 31 passes and delivered only 27 to his teammates, showing a poor success rate of 87%. French media 'L'Equipe' saw this and gave the two players a rating of 3 out of 10 along with the evaluation of "worst." It was the lowest score for both teams. Mbappe was not much different. In the match against Barcelona, he had 3 shots and a pass success rate of 88%, which was better than Holland and Bellingham, but his dribble success rate was poor at only 20% (1 success out of 5 attempts). Like Messi, Mbappe's strength is his ability to carry the ball or finish the ball, but he did not show any of his strengths in today's game. All three players are showing good performances in their leagues, but they are evaluated as 'below expectations' in that they performed poorly on the big stage of UCL. Manchester City, Real, PSG, etc. are powerhouses that no one can compete with in the league. Accordingly, his level of performance in the league cannot be compared to that of Messi and Ronaldo. Messi and Ronaldo showed off their 'ace' qualities by showing good performances not only in the league but also in the UCL. In order for Holland, Bellingham, and Mbappe to have as much influence as Messi and Ronaldo, they must show off their outstanding performance in the UCL. There is a chance. All three players were not eliminated from the UCL. There is a chance for the second game of the quarterfinals. If, among these players, a player emerges who leads the team to the next round and further to the championship, it is expected that he will not only beat his competitors but also secure the title of 'post' Messi or Ronaldo. 고스톱사이트
