Vinicius surpasses Messi’s Champions League knockout-stage assist record: Cristiano Ronaldo remains at the top

Vinicius Junior surpassed a Lionel Messi assist record in the UEFA Champions League during Real Madrid’s loss to Bayern Munich, although Cristiano Ronaldo still leads the all-time list. Real Madrid were eliminated from the 2025–26 UEFA Champions League after falling to Bayern Munich on Wednesday in Germany. However, the match allowed Vinicius Junior to surpass a Lionel Messi mark and move closer to Cristiano Ronaldo. Vini produced a brilliant play and assisted Kylian Mbappe on Real Madrid’s third goal in the closing minutes of the first half, which temporarily put the Spanish side level in the tie. With that contribution, the Brazilian winger reached 13 assists in the knockout stages of the European competition. In doing so, Vinicius moved past Lionel Messi for second place in the all-time rankings in that category. The Argentine forward had recorded 12 assists in Champions League knockout matches during his time with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. Cristiano Ronaldo remains at the top of the list, having recorded a total of 15 assists in the tournament’s knockout stages across his spells with Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus. No other player has come close to those numbers, but Vinicius, at just 25 years old, needs only three more to claim the all-time record. IT'S MBAPPE'S TURN! 😱 OH MY GOODNESS, WHAT A MATCH! #UCL pic.twitter.com/g0RYwP92aF — DAZN Football (@DAZNFootball) April 15, 2026 Vinicius also draws level with Neymar That assist to Mbappe at the Allianz Arena also helped Vinicius climb the all-time Champions League assist rankings, including both the knockout rounds and the group stage. Vini is now tied with Neymar for fourth place on the list with 33 assists, and he has strong prospects of closing in on the top spots in the near future. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, as expected, are also in the top three, with the Portuguese star leading the way. However, there is another somewhat unexpected name included: Angel Di Maria, who played alongside both legends at Real Madrid and PSG, respectively. All-time Champions League assist leaders: 1- Cristiano Ronaldo (42) 2- Angel Di Maria (41) 3- Lionel Messi (40) 4- Neymar (33) 4- Vinicius (33) 6- Kevin De Bruyne (31) 6- Ryan Giggs (31) 8- Xavi Hernandez (30) 8- Thomas Muller (30) 10- Karim Benzema (29) 10- Andres Iniesta (29)

Ranking Players Under Pressure for the Rest of the Season

Hello Rank Squad! As we head into the last international break of the season, we're about to hit crunch time for 2025/26 in all of Europe's biggest leagues. With the end of the season imminent, the pressure is ratcheted up on teams up and down the table to get their respective jobs done wherever they find themselves within their competition, but certain players will be feeling the heat more than others, for a variety of different reasons. Dean and Jack both pick out five names - Dean from the Premier League, Jack from across the rest of the continental leagues - who have something to prove in the final stretch. Whether that be for their own futures at their clubs, for their personal legacies, for their next move to be the one they want, to push a club towards trophies, or to be the talisman in a fight for something else, it doesn't matter - we're discussing them all, on a journey that takes us from the top to the bottom of tables, and from youngsters starting out to legends coming to their close. It's Ranks! (If you're on the hunt some World Cup Qualifier bits and pieces ahead of the international action in this break, Jack was on the brilliant World Cup After Dark Podcast (https://open.spotify.com/episode/7KaCUF7jpPhcMtY7GOZwC6?si=579503c4711549f5) to talk the UEFA Thunderdome of contenders for those final spots) And remember, if you’d like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?

Ballon d'Or 2024 standing the top 5 favourites - January 2024

The Ballond'Or is the most reputable individual gem in football. Lionel Messi harvested up a history- extending eighth Ballond'Or before this year thanks to his unbelievable performance at both international and domestic games in the 2022- 23 season. The competition for the 2024 edition of football's most coveted respective honour began at the launch of the 2023- 24 season. With Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, two of the most dominant footballers in the history of the football award, now in their late 30s, there is every luck that we could find a new Ballon d'Or winner this time. Without additional ado, let's take a look at the top five favourites to win the 2024 Ballond'Or( January 2024). 5 Cristiano Ronaldo( Portugal/ Al- Nassr) Despite having moved to Saudi Arabian club Al- Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo's stunts have made it nearly unrealizable to look past him in the environment of the Ballond'Or. Ronaldo has been in unbelievable form for both club and national team of late. He has scored 24 - and supplied 11 assists in 25 games across all tournaments for Al- Nassr so far this season. Ronaldo has been edgy in front of goal and has also impressed with his capability to produce goalscoring openings for his teammates. The 38- year-old has served a great job for Portugal as well. They're one of the early favourites to win the 2024 Euros and if that happens, Ronaldo could really well have a fitted ending chapter to his fantastic career. 4 Kylian Mbappe( France Paris Saint- Germain) Kylian Mbappe is completely angled to win numerous Ballonsd'Or in the future. He clearly has what it takes and has formerly come enough near on a couple of times. Could 2024 be his time? So far, Mbappe has put his sporty foot ahead but there is a passion that Paris Saint- Germain are clutching him back as he seems to be packing them once more. The Frenchman has scored 22 goals and delivered two assists in 23 games across all tournaments for PSG so far this season. Mbappe's possibility of winning the Ballond'Or will also depend on how far France progress at the Euros. 3 Mohamed Salah( Egypt/ Liverpool) Mohamed Salah ever played to finalize just outside the Ballond'Or top 10 in 2023 despite Liverpool having a delicate movement. The' Egyptian King' has only gotten more this season and has been ripping it up for the English giant. While a lack of Champions League football will affect his circumstances, the transparent calculation that Salah is setting up make him a good seeker in the race for the 2024 Ballond'Or. In 27 games across all tournaments so far this season for Jurgen Klopp's side, the 31- year-aged has delivered 18 goals and completed nine assists. 2 Jude Bellingham( England/ Real Madrid) Having landed to life at Real Madrid like a fish to water, Jude Bellingham has left the world in admiration of his fantastic capability at the tender age of 20. addicts across the world have seen him raise over the former several years but it's accomplished that the rankings he has unveiled since the launch of the 2023- 24 season are moderately exceptional. Bellingham has existed Real Madrid's main key player so far this tour. In his early days at the squad, he has formed an impact related to the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo. The Englishman can hopefully nourish this performance for the expanse of the campaign. He'll also play a vital part for England at the 2024 Euros. Bellingham has packed 17 goals and formed five assists in 22 apps across all tournaments for Real Madrid so far this season. 1 Harry Kane( England/ Bayern Munich) Having broken up free of the impediment that clutched him back at Tottenham Hotspur, Harry Kane seems to retain uncorked a new gear at his new team Bayern Munich. The signals were always there and a 30- goal reply in his closing Premier League season told volumes of his world- class capability. In the first half of the 2023- 24 season, the Englishman has displayed just how fast he can be when circled by players of a alike class. Kane has been performed further than a goal per match for the Bavarians so far this tour. He has 25 goals and eight assists to his profile in 22 games across all tournaments for Bayern Munich in the 2023- 24season.However, he might just form it to the pledged land, If Kane can guide England to honor at Euro 2024.

Alexi and Mosse open the show with a recap of USMNT’s 2-1 loss against Switzerland, give a preview to their match vs. Honduras in the CONCACAF Nations League finals, and give an MLS week 7 recap (11:10). The guys then talk about the Copa America relocation from Argentina to Brazil, UEFA Champions final, pride in Christian Pulisic, Pep Guardiola’s legacy takes hit, and why Alexi doesn’t think N’Golo Kante deserves the Ballon D’Or (26:30). They react to the numerous coaching changes, including Zinedine Zidane, Andrea Pirlo, Antonio Conte and more.

Episode 265 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Stinko de Mayo)

Remember when Vancouver Whitecaps were being lauded for their excellent road record? That seems so long ago now. Saturday's 1-0 loss in Minnesota was the third straight away defeat for the 'Caps. This one against an already undermanned team that played 40 minutes of the second half with ten men. Definitely a Cinco de Mayo to forget. We look back at the high and lows from the match, talk line-ups and formations, bring you our latest player rankings, and hear from both head coaches, Minnesota's Adrian Heath and Vancouver's Carl Robinson. Where now for the Whitecaps? Did the RSL win last week just paper over the cracks or should we just be content that the team is currently sitting in third spot? We also see how the weekend played out for the MLS western teams, discuss the latest big Canadian Premier League news and other headlines, play another round of Do You Know Who I Am? and Half Man Half Biscuit return for our Wavelength section.
