While Cristiano Ronaldo is out of the friendly match between Al-Nassr and Inter Miami, Lionel Messi is not even on the scoresheet for this long-awaited meeting. “La Pulga” supporters cry foul!
There will be no reunion between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo on the pitch and the Argentinian will not even play the meeting this Thursday evening (7 p.m.) in Saudi Arabia! The day after the announcement of the package of “CR7” with Al-Nassr, it was the turn of “La Pulga” not to appear on the scoresheet for this friendly meeting organized in Riyadh in front of 30,000 people. The fiasco.
The Argentine idol scored Monday evening in a defeat against Al-Hilal (4-3), but is visibly preserved by Tata Martino for this second match in the Saudi capital. Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Luis Suarez start, but Messi fans are extremely disappointed. And what can we say about the disillusionment experienced by football fans who bought their tickets for this Messi-Ronaldo clash.
The composition of Al-Nassr
On the Al-Nassr side, we find David Ospina, Aymeric Laporte, Alex Telles, Marcelo Brozovic and Anderson Talisca. Portuguese coach Luis Castro lines up young striker Mohammed Maran up front in place of Ronaldo. Sadio Mané, eliminated from the CAN on Monday evening, is absent.
