Bayern Munich contained the World Cup stars and beat PSG 2-0 on Wednesday to advance to the quarterfinals 3-0 on aggregate.

PSG eliminated by Bayern Munich in Champions League last 16

Lionel Messi & Kylian Mbappe's wait for the UCL trophy extended as Bayern Munich knocked PSG out to advance to the quarterfinals 3-0 on aggregate.

Bayern Munich contained the World Cup stars and beat PSG 2-0 on Wednesday to advance to the quarterfinals 3-0 on aggregate.

Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbapp&eacute; will have to wait another year for a chance to win the Champions League with Paris Saint-Germain.
Bayern Munich contained the World Cup stars and beat PSG 2-0 on Wednesday to advance to the quarterfinals 3-0 on aggregate.
After former PSG forward Kingsley Coman scored in the round-of-16 first leg, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting &mdash; another former PSG player &mdash; doubled the advantage before Serge Gnabry finished off the scoring at Allianz Stadium.
PSG had dominated the first half of the game and was only denied the lead by a goal-line clearance from Bayern's Matthijs de Ligt, but Bayern regained its focus in the second half to secure the win.
Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann had spoken previously of having a plan to shut down Messi and Mbapp&eacute; and it seemed to work as Bayern's defenders gradually squeezed them out of the game.
&ldquo;In the first game, we didn't do what we had spoken about before very well," Nagelsmann told broadcaster DAZN. &ldquo;There was too much space. We defended better in the second half and were dangerous on the ball. In the end, we deserved to win.&rdquo; All PSG can win this season is the French league title after being knocked out of the French Cup by Marseille last month.
Shortly after having a goal ruled out for offside, and also inadvertently blocking a teammate's shot, Choupo-Moting scored in the 61st minute to put Bayern on course for the quarterfinals and send PSG &mdash; which has never won the Champions League &mdash; out of the competition in the last 16 for the second year running.
Leon Goretzka and Thomas M&uuml;ller teamed up to take the ball off Marco Verratti and Goretzka squared the ball for Choupo-Moting to apply a simple finish with goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma stranded.
Two substitutes then linked up to make sure of the win on the counter in the 89th, with Jo&atilde;o Cancelo surging down the right flank before playing in Gnabry to score.
Games between PSG and Bayern have helped define the career of Choupo-Moting, a late-developing 33-year-old forward who until this season was best known as a backup striker for Robert Lewandowski at Bayern.
Choupo-Moting played for PSG against Bayern when the German team won the Champions League final in 2020. After signing for Bayern as a free agent the following season, he scored once in each leg in a defeat on away goals to PSG in the Champions League quarterfinals.
PSG was without Neymar, who played the first leg before sustaining a season-ending ankle injury, but had Mbapp&eacute;, a substitute in the first game, back in the starting lineup.
The French champions pressed Bayern high up the field from the start, pressuring Bayern's defense into some rash decisions. Bayern was lucky to escape without conceding when de Ligt made a desperate goal-line block in the 36th to clear Vitinha's shot on an otherwise unguarded net. The chance came about when goalkeeper Yann Sommer tried to dribble forward under pressure from Achraf Hakimi, only to give the ball away to Vitinha.
Swiss goalkeeper Sommer &mdash; signed to stand in for the injured Manuel Neuer &mdash; paid tribute to de Ligt, telling DAZN that he would reward the defender with &ldquo;a truck load of Swiss chocolate." &ldquo;I think we defended very well and, in the second half, were better at finding the space between the lines," Sommer said.
PSG coach Christophe Galtier blamed the team's busy schedule and injuries to key players for the loss. The injury list lengthened when captain Marquinhos went off in the 36th minute with what appeared to be a repeat of the rib pain which limited him in last week's win over Nantes.
His replacement, Nordi Mukiele, was himself taken off at halftime for 17-year-old defender El Chadaille Bitshiabu, who was making his Champions League debut.
&ldquo;We conceded what was a really stupid first goal at this level," Galtier said. &ldquo;Yes, there was pressure from Bayern, but sometimes you mustn't be ashamed to play it long to get over the pressing. When you're behind after an hour's play, it's difficult.&rdquo;

Gunmen threaten Lionel Messi, fire bullets at family-owned supermarket

In Lionel Messi's hometown Rosario, two gunmen opened fire at a supermarket owned by the footballer's in-laws.

Gunmen opened fire at a supermarket owned by Lionel Messi's in-laws in Argentina.

In Lionel Messi's hometown Rosario, two gunmen opened fire at a supermarket owned by the footballer's in-laws.
The two assailants, who were riding a motorcycle, also threw a message addressed to Messi at the doors of the supermarket.
"Messi, we are waiting for you. Javkin is also a drug trafficker, he will not take care of you," read the message written on a piece of cardboard.
While the message was a reference to Rosario's mayor Pablo Javkin, it is still unclear why assailants would target Messi or the Unico supermarket that is owned by the family of his wife, Antonella Roccuzzo.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai revealed an interesting development about the 2022 FIFA World Cup finale

Google search engine hits highest ever traffic during FIFA World Cup final

Google CEO Sundar Pichai revealed an interesting development about the 2022 FIFA World Cup finale

Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Monday said that Google Search logged its highest-ever traffic in 25 years of its existence during the nail-biting FIFA World Cup final.&nbsp;
Lionel Messi&rsquo;s dream of winning the FIFA World Cup finally materialised on Sunday, with Argentina surviving a few anxious moments to register a fighting 4-2 penalty shootout win over defending champions France.
&ldquo;Search recorded its highest ever traffic in 25 years during the final of #FIFAWorldCup , it was like the entire world was searching about one thing,&rdquo; tweeted Pichai.
He earlier said that it was one of the greatest games ever.
&ldquo;Well played Argentina and France. Jogo Bonito. Nobody deserves it more than #messi, imho the greatest ever to play the game. What a swansong,&rdquo; posted Pichai.
Google Search was founded in 1998 by Sergey Brin and Larry Page.
With a more than 90 per cent market share in 2022, Google Search currently dominates the market.
Lex Fridma, host of Lex Fridman Podcast and research scientist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US, replied to Pichai: &ldquo;Over a billion people tuned in, united by their love of the game. That&rsquo;s the best thing about football: it&rsquo;s a truly global game that unites us.&rdquo;

For Messi, it was a night he will never forget. He's walking away from the international game with the biggest prize of them all - the World Cup

FIFA World Cup Final: Messi's dream comes true as Argentina overcome spirited France to lift World Cup title

For Messi, it was a night he will never forget. He's walking away from the international game with the biggest prize of them all - the World Cup

The script for the FIFA World Cup final couldn't have been any better. Lionel Messi got his fairytale ending as his dream of winning the World Cup came true, with Argentina beating France 4-2 on penalties.
It was none other than the Atomic Flea who broke the deadlock with a 23rd-minute penalty to put Argentina ahead.
Argentina then went on to get their second of the night courtesy of a brilliant team goal finished off by Angel Di Maria in the 36th minute.
A resilient Argentinian defence managed to hold off France for the majority of the second half. However, it all changed in a matter of 97 seconds.
France's golden boy Kylian Mbappe scored a quickfire brace to level the match. His successful penalty followed by a fantastic equaliser forced the match into extra time. After a quite first half of extra time, the second half saw the ball somehow find the feet of Lionel Messi again, who converted from close range to give Argentina the potential winner in the 108th minute.
But Mbappe wasn't done yet as the 24-year-old got the opportunity to square things again in the dying moments of extra time with yet another spot-kick, one that he successfully converted to complete his hat-trick, the first-ever hat-trick in a World Cup final.
With the game finishing 3-3 after extra time, it was all down to the penalty shootout. In what was possibly the biggest lottery in football, it was Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez who once rose to the challenge to give the Sky blue &amp; whites their third World Cup crown. For Messi, it was a night he will never forget. He's walking away from the international game with the biggest prize of them all - the World Cup.

One more game to go and Lionel Messi might just join the likes of Pele, Diego Maradona. It is just another 90 minutes away. His last dance against either France or Morocco, coming Sunday.
The 35-year-old has been breaking or equalising records with each game in Qatar. La Pulga alongside 22-year-old Alvarez inspired La Albiceleste from the ruins of their Saudi Arabia humiliation to the finals of the football's biggest gala.&nbsp;
While the South American giants will look to win the third World Cup in their 6th final, Messi would look to leave an indelible mark and pick the elusive trophy in what he has said is his last World Cup game. After his team entered the final, Argentine midfielder Rodrigo de Paul said, 'we play for the shirt, but we also play for Messi'.&nbsp; Also Read <a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/football/watch-argentina-vs-croatia-highlights-messi-s-men-romp-home-with-3-0-victory-1670982909549">Watch Argentina vs Croatia highlights: Messi&rsquo;s men romp home with 3-0 victory</a>

It will be the perfect sendoff for the football hero, if Argentina beat France or Morocco, whichever team reaches the final next, on Sunday.&nbsp;

The 34th minute goal saw Messi become Argentina’s highest goal-scorer in FIFA World Cup history with 11 goals, one more than Gabriel Batistuta’s 10.

Lionel Messi &amp; Julian Alvarez were the stars for Argentina as the South American side thumped 2018 finalists 3-0 to reach the final of the FIFA World Cup. The partnership between Messi &amp; Alvarez wreaked havoc on Luka Madrid&rsquo;s men. First, it was Messi who fired Argentina in front with yet another penalty after Julian Alvarez was adjudged to have been fouled by the Croatian goalkeeper. The 34th minute goal saw Messi become Argentina&rsquo;s highest goal-scorer in FIFA World Cup history with 11 goals, one more than Gabriel Batistuta&rsquo;s 10. Julian Alvarez then doubled the lead five minutes later, with a brilliant solo run which started with a pass from Lionel Messi. While Croatia tried throwing the kitchen sink in the second half, it was all but over when Argentina inflicted more pain with a third goal - a sensational assist from Messi setting up Julian Alvarez once again.

From Messi's&nbsp;transfer to Zidane's&nbsp;shocking sacking to Hamilton's heartbreak, Sports were on a rollercoaster ride this year. Here is a brief look back at the going 2021.

Script:
 With dark clouds of Covid-19 looming over most of 2021, Sports kept us upbeat and motivated! Here are the biggest talking points from the world of sports as we bid farewell to 2021 Kidambi&nbsp;Srikanth&nbsp;scripts history: 
The disappointment of not being a part of the&nbsp;showpiece&nbsp;Tokyo 2020 Olympics did not deter Kidambi&nbsp;Srikanth&nbsp;who by the end of the year&nbsp;wrote the most glorious chapter in the Indian men's singles at the Badminton World Championship.
After pipping&nbsp;his compatriot Lakshya&nbsp;Sen&nbsp;in the semifinals,&nbsp;Kidambi&nbsp;brought home India's maiden&nbsp;men's Singles silver after losing the final battle to Singapore's&nbsp;Loh&nbsp;Kean&nbsp;Yew.
This was also India's most successful campaign on the world stage as the 20-year-old Sen&nbsp;collected the&nbsp;bronze as well.
 Football:
 Chhetri making India proud
 Sunil Chhetri, the&nbsp;talismanic skipper of the Indian football team, went past global superstar Lionel Messi to become the 2nd highest active international goal scorer. Chhetri achieved this feat during a joint preliminary qualifying round match for the 2022 FIFA World Cup and AFC Asian Cup where he scored a brace against Bangladesh in June
 Results
 Champion&rsquo;s League
 Chelsea was crowned the Kings of European football after they defeated Manchester City 1-0. Kai Havertz&rsquo;s&nbsp;only goal of the game proved enough for Thomas Tuchel&rsquo;s men who brought back the Champions League Trophy to the Stanford Bridge after 2012.
 English Premier League
 It were Pep Guardiola&rsquo;s men who rode to victory in the Premier League on the back of Manchester United, claimed their 5th&nbsp;trophy. Rivals Manchester United finished 2nd&nbsp;on the league ahead of Liverpool as City finished on top with 86 points and an incredible 27 wins from 38 games.
 La Liga title:
 Atletico Madrid clinched their 11th title La Liga crown after pipping their city rivals Real Madrid who finished 2nd. Barcelona finished a distant third as Lionel Messi finished as the top goal scorer of the league with 30 strikes in his last season with the Catalan side.
&nbsp;
Copa America:
In July, Argentina rose to the occasion as they won their first Copa America title in 28 years after handing Brazil a 1-0 loss in the final. 15th&nbsp;Copa America title for Argentina but more importantly this was Lionel Messi first major title of his career.&nbsp;
 Transfers:
Football&rsquo;s transfer market also remained hot during the season with the two biggest names in the sport making headlines.&nbsp;
CR7 returned home:
Juventus bid adieu to Cristiano Ronaldo as he returned to play for Manchester United after a gap of 12 years. The Portuguese star signed a 2-year-contract worth approximately 15 million euros to return to Old Trafford.
Messi&rsquo;s shift from Barcelona to PSG&nbsp;&nbsp;
Until August 2021, imagining Lionel Messi in a jersey apart from Barcelona was almost impossible. But his 21-year long stay with the Spanish club came to an end after Barcelona announced that they could not sign a new deal with the footballer due to financial reasons which left Messi quite emotional.
As a result, French side Paris st Germain caught the attention of the 7-time Ballan d&rsquo;Or winner and moved him to French Ligue 1
 There was plenty of movement when it comes to high-profile managers as well.
Jose Mourinho was sacked by Tottenham&nbsp;after 17 months of service in April. The 58-year-old Portuguese football manager had lost 13 games in all competitions in the 2020-21 season before he was sacked.
Zinedine Zidane who won 3 Champions Leagues and two La Liga titles across two separate spells was relieved by Real Madrid after the club's first trophy-less campaign in 12 years. &nbsp;
In October, Barcelona's head coach Ronald Koeman&nbsp;was sacked after a short service span of 14 months. Under the Dutchman&rsquo;s watch, Barcelona, one of the top La Liga&nbsp;teams had consistently performed poorly. With just 15 points from 10 games, Barca&nbsp;was 9th position when Koeman was shown the door.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was removed as the Manchester United manager after an embarrassing 4-1 defeat against Watford in November. Though Solskjaer signed a new three-year deal in July, but 5 defeats in the last 7 EPL games, forced the management to chuck him out.
Tokyo 2020
After 1 year delay due to Covid pandemic, Tokyo 2020 Olympics finally took place in Japan.&nbsp;
United States with a total of 113 medals including 39 gold topped the medal count ahead of China with 88 medals and hosts Japan.
 Biles&rsquo; stand for herself
 One of the greatest gymnast of all times, Simone Biles stood out for prioritising her mental wellness over an &nbsp;Olympic medal. The American gymnast decided to pull out from the all-around individual vault, bar, and floors event. However, the 24-year-old made a gripping return for the women&rsquo;s balance beam event in which she won the bronze medal.
 Can we share the gold? It was a historic moment for Italy&rsquo;s Gianmarco Tamberi and Qatar&rsquo;s Mutaz Essa Barshim as they decided to share the joy of finishing first in an event. It was a heart-warming moment when both were asked to go-ahead for a tie-breaker for the high-jump gold and Barshim questioned if they could share the gold. As soon as the official said yes, without uttering a word the 2 athletes, who have been friends for a long time embraced each other
 Brother Sister together Hifumi Abe and Uta Abe of Japan each won gold in their respective competitions in judo at Tokyo 2020. While Hifumi won in the 66 kg category his sister won in the 52 kg category. They became the first-ever siblings to win gold at the event on the same day.
TENNIS
2021 was the year of Novak Djokovic. The Serbian ace won 3 Grand Slams as he pocketed the Australian Open, French Open, and the Wimbledon title. World number 1 missed the chance to complete the Golden Slam as he failed to win the gold at the Olympics and win the US Open .&nbsp;
While Alexander Zverev made the mark in his debut Olympics, Daniil Medvedev won the US Open after defeating the 20-time Grand Slam Champion Djokovic.
 In the Women&rsquo;s field, Naomi Osaka, Barbora Krejcikova, Ashleigh Barty and Emma Raducanu won the Aus Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open respectively. &nbsp;
 FORMULA&nbsp; 1&nbsp;
A fiery rivalry on the Formula 1 track ended with Max Verstappen defeating 7-time champion Lewis Hamilton in a thrilling season finale in Abu Dhabi.
It was a see-saw battle for Hamilton and the Dutchman who won his first-ever championship as the 2 racers were level on points going into the final race. Till the very last lap of the season, fans were on the edge of their seats as Verstappen won the race in controversial circumstances. Mercedes&rsquo; appeals later were rejected by the FIA as Verstappen remained the F1 Champion.
