DBasia.news – Two rivals in modern football, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, began their comeback to their respective national teams without great results. Unlike the fate of the two, Kylian Mbappe performed well with the French national team.
Lionel Messi again appeared for the Argentine national team. Previously, the Barcelona captain had decided to break after the 2018 World Cup.
Entertaining Venezuela, Lionel Messi appeared since the first minute. On the front lines of the Argentine national team, Messi was accompanied by Gonzalo Martinez and Lautaro Martinez.
Although more favored on paper, in fact, the Argentine national team did not move. Lionel Messi and his friends surrendered 1-3 of the guests.
From Europe, Cristiano Ronaldo appeared for the first time with the Portuguese national team since the 2018 World Cup. Ronaldo had indeed missed a moment from his country because of adapting at Juventus.
The Juventus superstar appeared for 90 minutes in the 2020 European Cup qualifier against Ukraine. Unfortunately, the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo did not necessarily make Portugal win because it was held 0-0.
Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe stole the attention when the French national team crushed Moldova 4-1. Mbappe scored two goals in the match.
Raheem Sterling’s action with the England national team also deserves a thumbs up. The three goals of Manchester City players made the Three Lions win 5-0 over the Czech Republic.
