Kylian Mbappe’s defeat with Real Madrid against PSG ranks among the worst of his career. What were Lionel Messi’s and Cristiano Ronaldo’s worst losses?
Real Madrid’s run in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup came to an end after a heavy defeat at the hands of PSG. With Kylian Mbappe on the pitch, the loss stands as one of the toughest setbacks in the French star’s career. But what have been the worst defeats suffered by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo throughout their legendary careers?
Although the 4-0 scoreline was decisive not only for Madrid but also for the career of the talented forward, it wasn’t the worst defeat suffered by the former Monaco player on the pitch.
In 2019, while playing for PSG, he suffered a 5-1 defeat in the local league against Lille. Furthermore, while wearing the Merengue colors, he recently lost in a classic against Barcelona with a 5-2 scoreline.
Additionally, last year, also in a Spanish Clasico but for the domestic league, his team was thrashed by Barcelona 4-0, marking an unprecedented defeat in the player’s career.
What was Lionel Messi’s worst defeat?
Lionel Messi has had an illustrious career, even being regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time. Despite this, he has not been immune to embarrassment on the pitch and has also suffered tough defeats.
In 2020, when he was still the kingpin of FC Barcelona, a decisive 8-2 defeat handed by Bayern Munich sealed what was, at the time, the worst loss suffered by the Argentine star in his successful football career.
Cristiano Ronaldo also experienced it
Cristiano Ronaldo, who competed with Messi for the title of the best in the world over the last few years, was also a victim of two significant defeats in his career, both at the club level and in domestic competitions.
Both matches share a common denominator: the final score of 5-0 in defeat. Playing for Real Madrid in 2010, during another edition of the Spanish Clasico against Barcelona, Cristiano Ronaldo suffered one of these heavy defeats. The other, much more recent, took place while wearing Manchester United colors during his second spell at the club, with Liverpool as the opponent.
