Answer to the Daily Themed crossword clue Zero to Messi featured in the Daily Themed puzzle is NIL.
In sports, particularly in soccer (football), "nil" is used to denote a score of zero for a team or player. It originates from British English and is widely adopted in soccer commentary and reporting globally. When a match ends with a scoreline of 0-0, for example, it is referred to as a "nil-nil" draw.
Therefore, "nil" directly signifies the absence of goals or points scored by a team or individual player during a match.
The connection between "zero" and "Messi" in the context of "nil" lies in soccer matches where Lionel Messi, a renowned Argentine footballer considered one of the greatest players of all time, occasionally experiences games where he or his team fails to score (i.e., they have a "nil" score).
While Messi is prolific in scoring goals, instances where he has a "nil" score highlight the competitive nature of soccer, where even the most talented players can sometimes face challenges in scoring. Thus, "nil" serves as a succinct and widely understood term in soccer discourse to describe a score of zero, regardless of the player or team involved.
