The Riyadh Cup match which was to pit Cristiano Ronaldo against Lionel Messi this Thursday has lost its flavor. Both players withdrew from this meeting between Al-Nassr and Inter Miami.
Those nostalgic for the great duels which pitted Cristiano Ronaldo’s Real Madrid against Lionel Messi’s FC Barcelona for more than ten years at the start of the 21st century, were hoping to witness a sort of “revival” this Thursday (7 p.m. French time). As part of the Riyadh Cup, the two glories were indeed due to meet again since Al-Nassr and Inter Miami are playing against each other. But the sky has fallen on the heads of these supporters.
The day before, Cristiano Ronaldo’s package had already been announced, his club believing that he was not yet ready. And now, it is Lionel Messi who has also been announced forfeit. Neither of the two stars for this event which now looks like a huge marketing flop. Despite this bad news, it is obviously still possible to follow the meeting from France. This is broadcast by the channel beIN Sports 3as well as by DAZN. Kick-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh.
