[Noticias ALEJANDRO]

Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia ruthlessly beat Inter Miami of the United States 6-0, in a friendly match that had generated a lot of expectation because it was supposed to face the legends Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. In the end it didn't happen that way. The match was played in Riyadh, capital of Saudi Arabia, as part of the Riyadh Season Cup, a series of duels that function as a preseason for Inter Miami. Cristiano did not even appear on the Al Nassr bench due to an injury that has afflicted the Portuguese since the week of January 22, but from which he is already in the final phase of his recovery. For his part, Messi only played a little more than 10 minutes after coming on as a substitute in the 83rd minute of the match, when the score was already 6-0 down. According to Reuters, the Argentine felt discomfort in his hamstrings and his participation was in doubt, but he ended up playing the final period of the match.

 

 

This match was going to be the 37th confrontation between Cristiano and Messi. In the previous 36 occasions, the Argentine achieved 16 victories, while the Portuguese has 11 victories and nine draws have been recorded. The goals in the match without Cristiano and almost without Messi were scored by Brazilian Anderson Talisca, who was the author of a hat trick; one from the Portuguese Otávio, who opened the scoring from minute 3; and two others from the Spanish Aymeric Laporte and the Saudi Mohammed Maran, respectively.
