Lionel Messi has two goals for Argentina in the FIFA World Cup 2022, while Cristiano Ronaldo has one. Messi and Ronaldo have scored the same number of World Cup goals in their respective careers. Both players, however, have been compared to Neymar, who has yet to score for Brazil in the 2022 World Cup. Due to an ankle injury, the Brazilian forward will miss his country's final two group stage games. Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar have dominated football.
They are regarded as the world's most prolific top scorers. Let us examine their statistics at the age of 30.
At the age of 30, Ronaldo had played 17 games more than Messi and 61 games more than Neymar, but the Argentine striker had more goals and assists than the other two players. Messi had 565 goals and 231 assists in over 700 games by the age of 30, while Ronaldo had 463 goals and 154 assists. Neymar Junior did not score as many goals as Cristiano Ronaldo, but he had more assists than the Portuguese winger at the age of 30. In 657 games, the Paris Saint-Germain winger scored 401 goals and assisted on 226 others.As things stand, Messi and Ronaldo are nearing the end of their careers, while Neymar still has a few years to play at the highest level before retiring. Neymar, like Ronaldo, is likely to reach 800 goals before retiring from football.

Real Madrid youngster wants to play more amid exit rumours
Real Madrid currently has a number of highly rated youngsters on their books who have the potential to be the club's future for the next decade. Eduardo Camavinga is one such player. The Frenchman joined Real Madrid from Rennes last summer and went on to play a key role in their Champions League victory, albeit with most of his appearances coming off the bench.
It was expected that he would take the next step this season and gain more playing time. That has not occurred.
Camavinga has played 730 minutes of football for Real Madrid this season in 20 appearances across all competitions, according to Transfermarkt statistics. He has only made seven starts.As a result, it is safe to say that Camavinga is not playing as much as he or the fans would have liked, leading to rumours of him being loaned out in January or even being included in a deal to bring Jude Bellingham to Real Madrid.
Real Madrid's youngster wants to play more football amid rumors of Santiago Bernabeu's departure.It is safe to say that Camavinga is dissatisfied with being benched, though he does not appear to be impatient with the situation and pushing for an exit. According to GOAL, he stated:
"Of course, I'd like to play in every game." Real Madrid has a reality: there are good players ahead of me.
"I can't say I enjoy it because sitting on the bench isn't either. You must be patient."
While Camavinga has not taken a step forward this season, as many expected after his promising cameos in the previous season, the fact is that he turned 20 this month.There aren't many 20-year-olds on the planet who can outrun Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, and Aurelien Tchouameni in the middle of the park.
So, for Camavinga, it may be a matter of remaining patient and continuing to learn from legends like Kroos and Modric, so that when his opportunity comes, he is prepared to seize it.
