One of the biggest regrets in world football in the 21st century is that the two Ronaldos are not on the Golden Slam list

In recent days, the concept of Jin Slam has become popular again. The reason is of course that Dembele won the 2025 Golden Globe Award and touched on this topic. We often say the Grand Slam, which means getting all the championships and top honors you can win. The Golden Slam has higher specification requirements, that is, a player has three major honors: World Cup champion, Champions League champion, and Golden Globe Award. The word "gold" directly refers to the value of the Grand Slam.

Although Dembele was not the main player in the 2018 World Cup, he also won the championship with the French team. In the 24th to 25th season, Dembele won a great harvest. Not only did he win the triple crown with Paris Saint-Germain, but he also won the Golden Globe Award, which was very glorious. Dembele is also the tenth Golden Slam winner in history. As for whom the top nine are, the news has been overwhelming in the past few days. Even if you didn’t know it before, you should be very clear now. In fact, the Golden Slam was not friendly to players outside Europe before 1995, because the Golden Globe Awards were only open to European players at that time. Therefore, geniuses like Bailey and Maradona will never be able to score in the Golden Globes. Of course, even if the Golden Globes were opened to the world in the 1980s, Maradona was not a Golden Slam because he still lacked the Champions League title. The winners of the Golden Slam before 1995 were Gad Muller, Beckenbauer, Bobby Charlton, and Paul Rossi, with only four. After 1995, or directly speaking, the Jin Slam has actually appeared quite frequently since the 21st century.

In fact, you can think about it. A top superstar in a traditional football power is likely to play in a wealthy club, so he is naturally closer to the Big Ear Cup. With the Hercules Cup and Big Ear Cup, it is natural to give birth to the Golden Globe Award. The 6 Golden Slam winners after the four ancient gods actually emerged in the past 25 years of the 21st century. However, this high-density Golden Slam emergence model will inevitably hide some regrets. One of the biggest regrets is that the two most famous Ronaldos in the history of world football are not on the Golden Slam list. Alien Ronaldo, and Cristiano Ronaldo. The situation for Ronaldo is very simple. He has two World Cup champions and two Golden Globe Awards, but the Champions League champion is always in a parallel line mode with him. In fact, Ronaldo has witnessed the team lifting the Big Ears Cup. In the 2006-07 Champions League final, Milan defeated Liverpool 2-1 and won the seventh championship in team history. But unfortunately, Da Luo is not on the court, and to be more precise, he is not qualified to play at all. Because he went to Milan just after the winter window, Ronaldo had already played for Real Madrid in the Champions League, so he was not qualified to represent Milan in the Champions League that season. Therefore, Milan's big-eared cup has nothing to do with Ronaldo. To be honest, Da Luo's career was broken in the later stages and he gave up his higher pursuits, so this regret is no wonder that others can blame. Ronaldo's situation is limited by objective conditions. Although Portugal has gradually grown into a top-level team since the 21st century, it has insufficient foundation and cannot compete with strong teams such as Brazil, France and Germany. It can only be said that there is a certain possibility to count on Portugal to win the World Cup, but the possibility is very small. In this regard, Ronaldo is not as good as Messi's conditions. Ronaldo's career basically has won everything he deserves, but he has never been able to get the most important Hercules Cup. This regret is essentially a bottleneck. However, Ronaldo has not retired yet, and in theory, he still has the possibility of making up for this regret. Will some myths similar to 2022 happen in the 2026 World Cup?
