Al-Nassr humiliated Inter Miami in a friendly match on Thursday in Riyadh, under the eyes of a ecstatic Cristiano Ronaldo in the stands and a Lionel Messi stunned by his team’s rout on the sidelines…
After a defeat against Al-Hilal (4-3), the great leader of the Saudi Arabian championship, on Monday, Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami played a long-awaited friendly match against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr. After the announcement of the withdrawal of “CR7” the day before, it was the non-starting of Lionel Messi, visibly physically weakened, which disappointed the fans of the Argentine idol.
While his Al-Nassr teammates took to the field against the MLS franchise, Ronaldo was hilarious in the stands, while Messi appeared on the screen completely disappointed by the rout of his teammates (Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Luis Suarez were starters). The 38-year-old Portuguese recently praised the level of the Saudi Pro League and the Saudi teams are perhaps much better than those in North America.
Otavio, Anderson Talisca and Aymeric Laporte (from a 70-metre free kick) first scored in the first 12 minutes, before two more goals from the astonishing Talisca in the second half.
