This season is a continue of the last season and two latest seasons are the early calls for the slippery journey of Ronaldo and Messi in their career. Their goals in Champions League decreased in past few seasons. Ronaldo was bought by Juventus with hope and expectation to help them win the Champions League. Unfortunately, after that transfer from Real Madrid, Ronaldo scored very little goals in Champions League except the first season in Juventus.

In the same period, Messi got troubles with Barcelona's President, coach and quality of team mates.

Their dominating era has been ending.
