It is now Messi vs. Ronaldo! The Inter Miami soccer team will play two exhibition matches in Saudi Arabia, against Al-Hilal of Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo of Al Nassr, before the start of the 2019 Major League Soccer season in late February.

The Middle East will play host to a match that has been the subject of much discussion for months and could conclude Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi’s rivalry.

Inter Miami has announced that Lionel Messi and company will be visiting Al Nassr, the club of Cristiano Ronaldo, in Saudi Arabia for a match.

His friend Neymar plays for Al-Hilal, so they’ll be facing off against them before that.

Again, this is a huge chance to connect with devoted followers in a meaningful way. “We are thrilled to connect with new supporters in Saudi Arabia, and we hope that people all over the world will be tuning in to see these two dream matches,” stated Xavier Asensi, Chief Business Officer of Inter Miami CF.

The Chief Soccer Officer and Sporting Director of Inter Miami, Chris Henderson, stated that the upcoming matches will provide valuable challenges for the club, helping them prepare for the upcoming season.

The opportunity to compete against top-tier teams like Al-Hilal and Al Nassr is something that our squad is looking forward to.

Just a few weeks ago, the American team Inter Miami denied rumors that they would be playing Al Nassr.

There have been 35 encounters between Messi and Ronaldo, with 16 wins for Messi, 10 for Ronaldo, and 9 for a tie.

The two clubs’ seasons couldn’t be more different than when the match would be played.

Currently, Al Nassr are competing in both the Saudi Pro League and Asian competitions. Conversely, Inter Miami’s Major League Soccer season will not begin for a few more weeks.

Not that they won’t have games under their belts, either. Before their Saudi Arabian tour, Inter Miami will have faced two national teams: El Salvador and Hong Kong.
