Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba are all named to the Inter Miami lineup for the preseason matches in Asia

Unfortunately, the Al-Nassr forward’s ιnjury and the team’s decision to postpone part of their tour cast doubt on the much-anticipated head-to-head between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Notable forwards like Suarez and Messi, along with others like Leonardo Campana and Shanyder Borgelin, will be on the team.Robert Taylor, Julian Gressel, Robbie Robinson, David Ruiz, Lawson Sunderland, and 2024 MLS SuperDraft Pick Yannick Bright will make up Miami’s midfield. Busquets and Gregore are also on the roster.

On defense, Alba will be accompanied by DeAndre Yedlin, Noah Allen, Tomás Aviles, Israel Boatwright, Nicolas Freire, Tyler Hall, Sergii Kryvtsov, Christopher McVey, and Ryan Sailor.

The final roster spot goes to Cole Jensen, CJ Dos Santos, and Drake Callender in goal.

‘Broke the internet’ photo of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo had deeper significance

There was a deeper meaning to the photo that went viral last year featuring Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The two best footballers in the world teamed up with Louis Vuitton, the fashion powerhouse.

Moreover, it featured Messi and Ronaldo utilizing a Louis Vuitton briefcase as a chessboard.

“Victory is a State of Mind” was the message that accompanied the classic image that was uploaded on both of their Instagram accounts. Louis Vuitton continues a long heritage of handcrafting trunks, as captured by @annieleibovitz.Messi and Ronaldo’s combined 70 million likes sent the post to the top of Instagram’s likes chart.

Though they did sit down for interviews, the two were not in the same room for the shot; it was editing that brought them back together.

It arrived right before the start of the World Cup in Qatar, and fans wasted little time trying to figure out what the bizarre photo meant.

At both the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, the ‘LV’ briefcase held the trophy.

According to social media followers, the act of playing chess on the World Cup briefcase represents the strugglе to be crowned the best of all time.

Messi emerged victorious, leading Argentina to their first World Cup victory since 1986.

After a tҺrilling 3-3 draw, La Albiceleste prevailed over France in a penalty shootout. Messi won an unprecedented eighth Ballon d’Or with seven goals in a sensational tournament.Unfortunately for Ronaldo, his campaign did not go according to plan; he did not play in either of Portugal’s two quarterfinal matches against Morocco.

Ronaldo lead Riyadh to a victory over PSG in Saudi Arabia a few weeks later, but the two never had their chance for a final figҺt on the global stage.

On February 1st, they will meet in a profitable friendly match between Inter Miami and Al Nassr.

After Al Nassr canceled their visit of China because to Ronaldo’s ιnjury, the fixture’s validity became questionable.
