Points lost list in modern football: Cristiano Ronaldo surpasses Messi! The only man with more than 200 penalties in total!

October 13th. Some media, planetfootball, have compiled statistics and published statistics on modern football (the time was not given specifically, but it was probably in the past twenty years or the new century). Among them, the super giant Cristiano Ronaldo, who dominates the field of penalty kicks in football, ranks first on the list in both the total number of penalty kicks and the number of points conceded!

Some groups once mocked Messi for his poor penalty kick ability because he missed a penalty kick in the penalty shootout. In fact, although Messi's penalty shooting rate is not that high, he has been the first to score in 12 penalty shootouts in his career, scoring 10 times. The penalty kick percentage in the penalty shootout is far higher than that of his career and most of his peers. He is a key player.

On the other hand, Ronaldo, who is considered to be more stable in penalty kicks, as the captain, did not take the initiative to take the first penalty kick. Most of the time, he hid behind his teammates. There were even some penalty kicks that lasted until his teammates became mentally unstable and lost points. The team lost, but he did not take a penalty kick. Cristiano Ronaldo made a mistake in the European Cup last year, and was even criticized by the famous media BBC, which gave him the nickname "Lost Ronaldo". The BBC was later criticized by the Internet, but they did not apologize and just said it was a joke.

In this list, Ronaldo lost 34 points, ranking first. Ronaldo not only lost points in the European Cup, he even lost points in the FA Cup when he returned to Manchester United against the underdogs of the British Championship. Cristiano Ronaldo has conceded 34 points so far, the most recent of which was Portugal's 1-0 victory over Ireland in the World Cup preliminaries that just ended. Ronaldo is also the only player with a total of more than 200 free throws, and 211. He made 177 of 211 free throws and conceded 34 points.

Messi made 113 of 145 free throws and conceded 32 points. Neymar made 91 of 113 free throws and conceded 22 points. Totti made 86 of 106 free throws and conceded 20 points. Immobile made 86 of 105 free throws and conceded 19 points. Ronaldinho made 84 of 103 free throws and conceded 19 points. Ibrahimovic made 70 of 87 free throws and conceded 17 points.

In this news comment area, a large number of fans admit that Ronaldo is the first person in history in the field of penalty kicks, and he has finally become the GOAT. Ronaldo has played two more years than Messi, dozens more goals, and dozens more penalties, which is just right. The reason why Cristiano Ronaldo scores more goals but is not considered to be better than Messi is that on the one hand he has much more penalty kicks and on the other hand he shoots too much.
