Messi won the championship in 2022. In 2026, can the Portuguese team, which is extremely valuable, help Ronaldo win the championship?

The king of football in the last century is recognized by Pele and Maradona in the world football world. There are many different opinions as to which of the two ranks high. After entering the 21st century, the recognized king of football is Ronaldo or Messi. Which of these two is stronger is a mystery of the century. The fans of the two can even fight for this matter. In the club career, the two were extremely brilliant, but in the World Cup, before the 2022 World Cup started, both of them participated in four World Cups, but the data were all very awkward, especially the record of "0 goals in the knockout stage". However, at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, Argentina finally won the championship, with Messi scoring 7 goals, including 2 goals in the final, not only breaking the record of 0 goals in the knockout stage, but most importantly, he won the World Cup championship.

But Ronaldo is still very embarrassed. His record of 0 goals in the World Cup knockout stage has changed from four World Cups to five World Cups. However, at the 2022 World Cup, Ronaldo became a substitute, and the Portuguese team stopped in the quarterfinals and was eliminated early.

2026 US, Canada and Mexico World Cup will be held in June next year, and the time will be tighter and tighter. By next year, Ronaldo will be 41 years old and Messi will be 39 years old, but the two are in good shape and are both main players in the national team. It can be said that as long as the two are not injured in the World Cup next year, they will basically participate. This is also their sixth World Cup.

Ronaldo played for the Portuguese team for the first time in the 2004 European Cup. He was only 19 years old that year. Before him, the Portuguese team had produced a golden generation represented by Figo. After the 2006 World Cup, the golden generation basically withdrew from Portuguese football. However, today's Portugal team is undoubtedly the golden generation, even surpassing the Figo generation.

Look at the Portuguese team's lineup, with a total value of 958 million euros, FIFA ranked 6th, while the Argentina team's total value is 728 million euros. At 3 a.m. on June 9, the UEFA League final started. Portugal and Spain drew 2-2 in 120 minutes. They won the penalty shootout 5-3 and won the UEFA League championship.

In this game, the Portuguese team sent a 433 formation, with the goalkeeper being the world's number one Costa, with the defense line being Neves, Ruben Dias, Inasio, Mendes, midfielder B Fee, Vitinia, and B Sei, forward Concesan, C Ronaldo, and Neto, and the bench is full of players. The World Cup team has certainly achieved combat effectiveness in the World Cup field, but the World Cup championship has never been upset yet, while Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Greece and other teams have all won the European Cup championship, which is still different. The strength of Portugal is not a big problem to reach the quarterfinals, but the results are completely unpredictable in the quarterfinals, semi-finals and finals. The status and luck are equally important. Overall, the probability of Portugal winning the final championship is still not high. Let's wait and see what the details are.
