Argentina vs Portugal: Who’s Stronger Without Messi and Ronaldo? A Data-Driven Breakdown
The Post-Messi vs Post-Ronaldo Era: Setting the Stage
Let’s face it—comparing Argentina and Portugal without Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo is like analyzing fish without water. But here we are. Both teams have evolved, and their 2023 squads reveal fascinating contrasts. As a data geek who once got into a fistfight over a heatmap (long story), I’ll break this down tactically.
Argentina: World Champions with Steel in Their Spine
Attack: Lautaro Martínez and Julián Álvarez aren’t just €100M+ price tags—they’re predators. Lautaro’s pressing metrics (22.3 pressures/90) would make Klopp weep joyfully, while Álvarez’s xG of 0.68 per 90 is borderline rude.
Midfield: Enzo Fernández and Mac Allister? More like ‘Enzo the Enforcer’ and ‘Mac the Metronome.’ Their combined 6.3 tackles per game turns midfield battles into WWE smackdowns. De Paul? The human duct tape holding it all together.
Defense: Sure, Romero gets red-card urges, but Lisandro Martínez’s 5’9” frame plays like a 6’4” brick wall. And let’s not forget Emi Martínez—the goalkeeper who psychs out penalty takers better than a horror movie villain.
Portugal: Euro 2024 Dark Horses or Overhyped XI?
Defense: Rúben Dias is Virgil van Dijk’s quieter cousin—just as dominant (87% aerial duels won). Nuno Mendes and João Cancelo are basically wingers who moonlight as full-backs. But that goalkeeper situation? Let’s just say I’ve seen more intimidating tea cosies.
Midfield: Bruno Fernandes (7.2 key passes/90) could thread a needle blindfolded, while Vitinha dances past presses like he’s in a Lisbon nightclub. The issue? Defensive cover thinner than Neymar’s patience at PSG.
Attack: Rafael Leão’s pace (36 km/h top speed) is terrifying… when he can be bothered. João Félix? A luxury Ferrari stuck in Sunday traffic. Depth chart beyond them reads like a ‘Who’s Who?’ of Premier League benchwarmers.
Verdict: My Spreadsheet Says…
Portugal’s defense edges it (+1.2 xGA differential), but Argentina’s cohesive unit—especially in transition—wins the war. Without their talismans, La Albiceleste’s ‘blood-and-thunder’ style trumps A Seleção’s individual flair. Still, both teams would trade their left boots to have their GOATs back.

A matemática não mente
Comparar Argentina e Portugal sem Messi e Ronaldo é como tentar fazer feijoada sem feijão - pode até ter cara, mas falta o principal.
Dados não mentem: A Argentina tem um time mais redondo que bola de futebol, com Lautaro e Álvarez fazendo estrago. Já Portugal… bem, até o Bruno Fernandes consegue perder a paciência com esse elenco.
E você? Acha que alguém ganha essa disputa ou vai ser empate técnico na saudade dos GOATs?
메시 없는 아르헨티나 vs 호날두 없는 포르투갈
진짜로 이 두 팀을 비교하는 건 물 없이 물고기 분석하는 것만큼 어렵죠. 하지만 데이터로 보면 재밌는 사실이! 아르헨티나는 라우타로와 알바레즈가 공격라인을 완전히 장악했고, 포르투갈은 브루노 페르난데스의 핑거패스가 눈에 띄네요.
골키퍼 비교는 웃음 포인트
에미 마르티네즈는 페널티 킥을 막을 때 호러 영화 악당처럼 멘탈을 갈아넣지만, 포르투갈 골키퍼는 차라리 티코스터가 더 무서울지도? (데이터 상으로는 아르헨티나 수비가 더 낫다는 게 함정)

The GOAT-less Showdown
Comparing Argentina and Portugal without Messi and Ronaldo is like watching a superhero movie without the heroes—just a bunch of sidekicks trying their best. But hey, Lautaro’s pressing could scare off a tornado, and Bruno’s passes are sharper than my ex’s comebacks.
Defense? More Like ‘De-fun’
Portugal’s defense is solid… until you realize their goalkeeper is about as intimidating as a sleepy kitten. Meanwhile, Argentina’s Lisandro Martínez plays like he’s 6’4” on steroids.
Verdict: Argentina’s chaos beats Portugal’s flair. But let’s be real, both teams miss their GOATs like I miss my hairline. What’s your take? Drop your hot takes below! ⚽🔥
ماذا يحدث عندما تختفي الأساطير؟
بدون ميسي ورونالدو، المباراة بين الأرجنتين والبرتغال تشبه شاي بدون سكر! لكن دعونا ننظر إلى الحقائق:
الأرجنتين: لديها لاوتارو الفهد وخوليان القاتل، بالإضافة إلى خط وسط يشبه فريق المصارعة! وإيمي مارتينيز حارس المرمى الذي يُرعب المنافسين أكثر من أفلام الرعب.
البرتغال: روبن دياس قوي مثل الجدار، لكن حارس المرمى… حسنًا، دعونا لا نتحدث عن ذلك! برونو فرناندز يمكنه تمرير الكرة بعينيه مغمضتين، لكن الدفاع ضعيف مثل صبر نيمار في باريس.
الخلاصة: الأرجنتين تفوز باللعبة الجماعية، لكن البرتغال لديها لمعان فردي. أي الفريق تفضلون؟ اكتبوا في التعليقات!
Хто ж сильніший без своїх легенд?
Без Мессі та Роналду цей матч нагадує борщ без сметани – щось не те! Але давайте подивимось на цифри.
Аргентина має сталевий хребет: Лаутаро зі своїми 22.3 тисками за гру може змусити навіть Клоппа плакати від щастя. А Еміліано Мартінес – це просто майстер психології на пенальті!
Португалія теж не погана, але їхній воротар… Ну, скажімо так, я бачив більш грізні чайники.
Мій висновок? Аргентина перемагає за рахунок командної гри. Але обидві команди б віддали все, щоб повернути своїх GOAT-ів!
А ви як вважаєте? 😄
গোয়ালাদের যুদ্ধে ডেটার হাসি
আর্জেন্টিনা আর পর্তুগালের লড়াই এখন মেসি-রোনালদো ছাড়া! ডেটা বলছে, লাউতারোর চাপ আর আলভারেজের xG (০.৬৮!) দেখে ক্লপ্পও কেঁদে ফেলবেন।
পোর্তুগিজদের অবস্থা কী?
ব্রুনো ফার্নান্দিস সুই সুতো পরাতে পারলেও গোলরক্ষক তো চায়ের কুসি মত! রাফায়েল লিয়াও যখন ইচ্ছে তখন দৌড়ান ৩৬ km/h গতিতে - ঠিক আমাদের ঢাকার অটোরিকশাওয়ালাদের মত!
শেষ কথা?
আর্জেন্টিনার “এনজো দ্য এনফোর্সার” আর “ম্যাক দ্য মেট্রোনোম” এর সামনে পর্তুগালের মিডফিল্ড পাতি খেলোয়াড়! কিন্তু হ্যাঁ, দু’দলই তাদের GOAT ছাড়া কিছুটা অসহায়। আপনাদের কি মনে হয়? কমেন্টে জানান!
Argentina vs Portugal: Trận đấu không có hai GOAT
Không có Messi và Ronaldo, Argentina và Portugal như phở không hành! Nhưng data nói gì nhỉ? Argentina với bộ ba Lautaro, Álvarez và Enzo Fernández cứng như bánh mì chảo. Còn Portugal? Bruno Fernandes thì siêu nhưng thủ môn của họ…ôi thôi, yếu hơn cả bánh flan!
Kết luận: Argentina thắng nhờ “máu lửa” hơn, nhưng chắc chắn cả hai đội đều muốn GOAT của mình quay lại! Bạn nghĩ sao? Comment ngay nhé!
ข้อมูลบอกว่า…ทีมไหนแกร่งกว่ากันเมื่อไม่มีสอง GOAT?
ถ้าเอาเมสซี่กับโรนัลโดออกจากเกม ก็เหมือนลบช้างเผือกออกจากสวนสัตว์ - ทีมเหลือแต่ความวุ่นวาย! 😂
อาร์เจนติน่า นี่เตรียมตัวมาดีมาก ลาตาโร่กับอัลวาเรซ ยิงประตูได้แบบไม่ต้องพึ่งเมสซี่ ส่วนเกมรับก็แน่นเหมือนยางรถใหม่!
โปรตุเกส แม้มีนักเตะดาวรุ่งแต่ดูขาดความเป็นทีม กองหลังแข็งแกร่งแต่ผู้รักษาประตูทำให้นึกถึงตะกร้าผ้า…
สรุปแล้ว สเปรดชีตของผมบอกว่า อาร์เจนติน่ายังเหนือกว่าแม้ไม่มีเมสซี่! แต่ทั้งสองทีมคงอยากได้ GOAT คืนมาบนสนามแน่นอน 🤣
