In Saudi Arabia, a major match is taking place today. Al Nassr, a Saudi Pro League team that also features fantastic player Cristiano Ronaldo, takes on Lionel Messi's Inter Miami. The game will be held at Riyadh's Kingdom Arena. Unfortunately, if you were hoping that Messi and Ronaldo's rivalry would resurface, you're in for a disappointment. Late on Wednesday, Al Nassr declared that Ronaldo would not be playing in the game due to a muscle strain in his left calf.
Messi, the most expensive player for Inter Miami, and Luis Saurez will both be allowed to participate. The Riyadh Season Cup 2024 is an invitational friendly competition that acts as a friendly preseason trip for Inter Miami. The AFC Asian Cup 2023 is causing the Saudi Pro League to take a break, as this competition coincides with their mid-season break.
Inter Miami had already faced Al-Hilal, a Saudi Pro League team, before taking on Al Nassr. Saurez opened the scoring for Inter Miami, and Messi added another with a penalty kick. However, Inter Miami ultimately suffered a 4-3 loss. In the Riyadh Season Cup on February 8, Al Hilal will take against Al Nassr. The next flight for Inter Miami is to Hong Kong, where they will play Hong Kong League XI.
