The end of a 15 year era is beginning to ring true as the day passes. Both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have made the competition their own over the last 15 years.

Reaching the latter stages and even winning the trophy has become mandatory for the duo. Together, they have won 9 of the last 15 UEFA Champions League editions.

Juventus lost out to FC Porto on away goals. They beat the Portuguese side 3-2 on Tuesday but drew 4-4 on aggregate.

They lost 2-1 to them in the first leg of the last 16. They bow out at this stage for the second consecutive season.

Since spending 100 million on Cristiano Ronaldo in 2018, their best finish in the competition was the quarter-final. They lost out to a youthful Ajax Amsterdam at their own stadium in Turin.

Juve have since been beaten by perceived lower sides Olympique Lyonnais and FC Porto in the last 16 in consecutive seasons.

FC Barcelona and Lionel Messi have been eliminated in the last 16 for the first time since 2007 when they were knocked out by eventual finalists Liverpool.

Their experience in the UEFA Champions League has been extremely retched since they last won it in 2015. Their best placed finish has been a semi-final horror exit to Liverpool in 2019.

At 36 (Ronaldo) and 34 (Messi) years old this year, the duo are terribly unlikely to get their hands on the trophy ever again. The future now belongs to the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland.

Those two are likely to dominate European football for the next 10 years. Messi And Ronaldo Eliminated From UEFA Champions League!
