For three consecutive years, the Chilean team has killed Messi's national ambition in desperation, extinguishing the desire to make the 2016/17 season the most successful Ronaldo career perfect.

Leo Messi is the only Argentinian player in the Copa America final in 2015 (Higuain and Banega have broken). Chile's squad in the series (four successive kicks) made Argentina a failed double in major tournaments, one year after losing the 2014 World Cup finals.

A year later, Messi burst into tears as Argentina finished their second hat trick. The Tango team collapsed at the foot of Chile's penalty shootout. This time, Messi shot a failure, Argentina lost the final 2-4. After the tournament, the M10 announced the retirement from the team.

The most consistent Chilean player in history has just ended its ambition to add a missing title to Ronaldo's collection. Like Euro 2012, Ronaldo pensive look at the team was eliminated when he himself has not been kicked. After the 2016/17 season with the club struggling, Ronaldo decided not to rest to concentrate with the team to conquer the Confed Cup. Finally, the 32-year-old superstar just regretted it.

The only consolation for Ronaldo after this tournament is that with two goals scored, he rose to second place on the list of best European goalscorer with 75 goals, less than the top nine goals. If only counted in the official game for the team, Ronaldo is the number one in Europe.

Bravo made six saves in the match against the European champions, including three penalty shootouts. Only after a match, goalkeeper Claudio Bravo had a shot blocked the penalty 11 meters over a long time playing in La Liga.
