As the curtain closes on the 2024 football calendar, it’s time to reflect on the biggest winners and losers of the year. From Lionel Messi’s triumphant Argentina to the disappointing campaigns of Kylian Mbappe and Cristiano Ronaldo, this year has been filled with thrilling moments and shocking upsets. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the teams and players who made the most of 2024, and those who fell short of expectations.
At the top of the winners’ list is Lionel Messi and his Argentina team, who finally brought home the coveted World Cup title. Messi, widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, was instrumental in Argentina’s success, scoring crucial goals and leading his team to victory. The triumph marked a historic moment for Argentine football, and cemented Messi’s status as a national hero.
Another team that made waves in 2024 was “Neverlusen”, a plucky underdog that defied expectations and achieved remarkable success. Despite being written off by many pundits, Neverlusen showed remarkable resilience and determination, punching above their weight and securing a number of impressive victories. Their fairy-tale story captured the hearts of fans around the world, and served as a reminder that anything is possible in football.
On the other hand, 2024 was a year to forget for Kylian Mbappe and Cristiano Ronaldo, two of the biggest stars in the sport. Mbappe, who had been tipped for greatness, struggled to find his form and was often criticized for his lackluster performances. Ronaldo, meanwhile, faced a tumultuous year marked by controversy and disappointment. Despite his impressive individual skills, Ronaldo was unable to lead his team to success, and his antics on and off the pitch made headlines for all the wrong reasons.
The losers’ list also includes a number of teams that failed to live up to expectations. From the disappointing campaigns of European powerhouses to the struggles of smaller teams, 2024 was a year marked by upheaval and surprise. However, as the old adage goes, “when one door closes, another opens”, and many of these teams will be looking to bounce back in 2025.
