UCL: Raphinha breaks Messi record in 3-3 draw, moves closer to Ballon d'Or
Barcelona star Raphinha enhanced his case for the Ballon d'Or with another excellent performance, surpassing Lionel Messi's previously held record.
Despite 21 shots and Ronaldo’s relentless effort, including eight attempts with two on target, Al-Nassr couldn’t break through.
Ronaldo, 40, showed visible frustration as hopes for continental glory slipped away. Though he leads the Saudi Pro League scoring charts, this loss deepens Al-Nassr’s trophy drought with five games left in the season.
)
Meanwhile, in Florida, Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami suffered a stunning 3-1 defeat to the Vancouver Whitecaps in the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal second leg, crashing out 5-1 on aggregate.
The Whitecaps scored three quick goals in the second half, leaving Miami stunned. Messi, 37, played the full match but couldn’t inspire a comeback.
)
This marks Inter Miami’s third consecutive loss since Messi’s arrival, a rare slump for the star-studded side.
Across the Atlantic, LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated from the NBA playoffs after a 103-96 Game 5 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Despite LeBron’s impressive 26.3 points per game in the series, the Lakers couldn’t match Minnesota’s depth and size.
)
At 40, James faces growing questions about his future as the Lakers bow out in the first round once again.
Social media exploded with fans mourning the simultaneous downfall of three legends. “Ronaldo, Messi, and LeBron all crashing out? The end of an era,” one post declared.
)
Yet, experts caution that these defeats reflect the brutal physical toll and fierce competition ageing superstars face, not an abrupt finale.
While this day marks a dramatic chapter, Ronaldo, Messi, and LeBron continue to defy age with remarkable performances. Their legacies endure, even as new stars rise to claim the spotlight.
