Cristiano Ronaldo j Lionel Messi They will meet again in an international friendly as part of the Riyadh Season Cup, a triangular tournament that sees Inter Miami face Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr in the Middle East. The former Real Madrid player and the 'Flea' will face off in a duel called 'The Last Dance'.
The Gerardo Martino-led team, a club recently strengthened with the addition of Luis Suárez, comes into this game after a 3-4 defeat against Al-Hilal. The Heros will be looking for their first win of the preseason before MLS begins, having held the El Salvador team to a goalless draw and lost 1-0 to FC Dallas a few weeks ago.
Al-Nassr, on the other hand, canceled its pre-season preparations almost a week ago due to an injury to Cristiano Ronaldo. The last time both stars faced each other was in February 2023, in a friendly between a team of Saudi Arabian league stars and PSG.
