Failing Kings

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE WEEK

During this week, with a couple of Champions League matches played, Kylian Mbappé (22 y/old) and Erling Haaland(20y/ old), they both took the protagonism of this Champions League week, so Erling scored 2 goals and 1 assist in the win against Sevilla FC 2-3, and Kylian Mbappé scored a Hat-Trick(3 goals) against FC Barcelona 1-4, and he's the first football player to score a Hat-Trick in the Camp Nou(Barcelona´s stadium) after Diego Forlán in 2005.


On the other hand, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the 2 greatest footballers of the last 20 years, both were beaten and lost their matches. This way, Messi's Barcelona lost against Mbappé´s PSG 1-4, scoring the only goal of Barcelona, while Cristiano Ronaldo's Juventus, lost against FC Porto 2-1, neither of them showed a good match as they usually do. 

Taking this into account, there are people who think that this is the beginning of a new era, the Mbappé-Haaland era. 

Is this the moment when Messi and Ronaldo are giving away their throne?
