Paris Saint-Germain footballer Lionel Messi has set an anti-record. For the first time in his career, the Argentine forward failed to reach the Champions League quarterfinals in two consecutive seasons.
Parisians failed to beat Bayern Munich in the last eight. In the first game at home, they lost 0-1, and in the second away game, they lost 0-2 and were left out of the tournament.
PSG lost 1/8 finals of the 2021/2022 season to Real Madrid (1-0, 1-3).
Messi became the third player in history to appear in the opening minutes of 150 Champions League games.
The two sides who had previously reached the quarterfinals of the tournament were Chelsea of England and Benfica of Portugal.
