In the football industry, even-numbered years are often very exciting with a series of notable tournaments. 2024 is no exception with a series of playgrounds such as the Asian Cup, CAN or Euro, Copa America. Every Spring Festival always brings with it everyone’s burning wishes. Let’s see what world football superstars want most about their careers in 2024, according to predictions from artificial intelligence.
Ronaldo: Euro 2024 champion
As an ambitious player, Ronaldo certainly does not want to stop even though he turned 3 years old last week. In 2024, CR7 has a series of titles to aim for. However, the championship that CR7 wants most is definitely Euro 2024 even though he has already conquered the trophy once in 2016.
In an interview in 2020, Ronaldo admitted that the Euro was the most prestigious title he had ever won. Therefore, Ronaldo will definitely want to enjoy this joy one more time in Germany in the summer of 2024.
At this time, Ronaldo’s Portugal is considered the top candidate for the championship title. They also fell into a group that was not too difficult with Türkiye, the Czech Republic and a team from the playoffs.

Lionel Messi: Just enjoy the passion for the ball
For Messi, his wish for his career in 2024 is probably much simpler than Ronaldo’s: It is to enjoy his passion for the ball.
After winning the 2022 World Cup, Messi admitted at least three times that he had “accomplished all the goals he set for himself in football” and now only plays to satisfy his desire to compete. In the coming time, Messi will aim to completely recover from his injury and contribute the most to the club and national team.

Erling Haaland: Won the Golden Ball title
In 2023, Haaland won the treble with Man City and completed his dream of conquering the C1 Cup. However, the Norwegian superstar failed in the 2023 Golden Ball race when he ranked behind Messi. Therefore, Haaland certainly wants to win this award this year.
To do this, Haaland needs to win every possible tournament with Man City while maintaining his terrible scoring form like he did in the 22022/2023 season.
Winning the Euro title is certainly also one of the big goals for Haaland. However, he will not be able to accomplish this soon because the Norwegian team cannot qualify for Euro 2024.

Neymar: No injury
Superstar Neymar suffered a serious injury in October 2023 and is expected to only return next August. This means the Brazilian superstar will miss this entire season as well as the Copa America in the summer.
Once expected to be able to catch up with Ronaldo and Messi, Neymar’s career has been affected by serious injuries over the years. Therefore, in the new year, Neymar simply wants to be able to fully recover and contribute to his club.

Kylian Mbappe: Acquired the C1 and Euro cups
Having won the World Cup as well as dominating the domestic tournament with PSG over the years, now the two big titles that Mbappe wants to aim for are the Euro and the C1 Cup. The French superstar has the opportunity to conquer both of these titles in 2024.
The goal of winning the Euro championship is said to be easier because France is considered by experts to be the number 1 candidate at the tournament. As for the C1 Cup, despite having passed the group stage, PSG’s strength this season is said to have decreased somewhat after the change of force in the summer of 2023. The French champion is considered inferior if placed next to Man City and Real. or Bayern.
