Almost a failed footballer, I chose journalism because it is the only profession that allows you to criticize those who have succeeded. After realizing my dream of playing in the 2010 World Cup (in the press box), I live from my passion with the transfer window and major sporting events as a second family.
The two monsters of world football, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, will meet again, probably for the last time in their immense careers, this Thursday. A summit meeting in Saudi Arabia. And the Argentinian is already taking a position on this trip to the Middle East.
“The last dance”. The nod to Michael Jordan owes nothing to chance. It is indeed a question of Legends, like the American basketball player. And a final clash between two living icons of world football, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The Argentinian and the Portuguese competed for almost 15 years to distribute Ballons d’Or. Their duels were truly anthology moments, notably during the Clasico FC Barcelona – Real Madrid. This Thursday, it is under the colors of Inter Miami and Al Nasrr that Léo and CR7 will face each other. Most certainly for the last time in their history. And it will be in Saudi Arabia, for the Riyadh Season Cup 2024.

“Beyond preconceived ideas”
The event began with a lively meeting between Al-Hilal, leader of the Saudi championship, and Inter Miami. Scorer from a penalty, Lionel Messi was however unable to prevent the defeat of the American franchise (4-3). Now it’s time for the highly anticipated match against Cristiano Ronaldo, this Thursday (7 p.m., broadcast on beIN SPORT). And if Saudi Arabia is the territory of CR7, Lionel Messi did not hesitate to take a stand to praise the merits of a country which has clearly opened up to the world in recent years. An advertising campaign with a clear message: “Beyond preconceived ideas”, where the Argentinian takes the stage to break the thoughts around a little-known country. A way to start the match against its eternal rival. Before their last dance…
