Lionel Messi Vs Ronaldo Duel Will Happen Again In Early 2024
JAKARTA - The hot duel between two world soccer stars, Lionel Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo, will happen again.
This is in line with the announcement shared by Inter Miami to face Al Nassr in a friendly early next year.
From the official Inter Miami website, it is known that the team where Lionel Messi belongs will participate in the Riyadh Season Cup 2024 event.
At that event, they will meet Al Hilal on January 29, 2024, and Al Nassr three days later.
This is part of Inter Miami's international tour before the 2024 Major League Soccer season begins at the end of February 2023. Previously, they were scheduled to meet the El Salvador national team and clubs from Hong Kong.
"We are very enthusiastic to have the opportunity to compete against teams like Al Hilal and Al Nassr," said Inter Miami Sports Director Chris Henderson, quoted from ESPN on Wednesday, December 13, 2023.
The tournament, which brings together Inter Miami and Al Nassr, will be highly anticipated by Messi and Ronaldo fans.
The reason is, this is a very rare moment considering the two are near retirement age and are no longer playing in Europe.
