On February 1st, megastars Messi and Ronaldo will clash in the Arabian desert – perhaps for the last time.
A duel that football fans around the world can look forward to once again: Argentine world champion Lionel Messi (36) and five-time world footballer Cristiano Ronaldo (38) will be on the pitch together at least one more time. As Messi’s club Inter Miami announced, the team from the USA will meet Ronaldo’s club Al-Nassr as part of a promotional tour on February 1, 2024 in the Saudi capital Riyadh. On January 29th, Messi’s team will play against Al-Hilal, where Messi’s former teammate Neymar is under contract.
Messi “warming up” against Neymar
The 31-year-old Brazilian, who formed the world’s best attacking formation together with Messi for years, first at Barcelona (with Suarez) and then at Paris SG (with Mbappé), is still suffering from the effects of a torn cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee.
Messi and Ronaldo have competed against each other 35 times in their careers. The eight-time world footballer has 16 wins, Ronaldo has 10. The goal tally also speaks in favor of Messi, who scored 21 times in these games (12 assists). Ronaldo has 20 goals and one assist.
