Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t there, but Al Nassr beats Inter Miami 6-0. And the fans: “Where is Messi?”

In 2023 there were goals and plays in the Cristiano Ronaldo-Messi reunion, but – of course – Ronaldo was on the pitch while Messi was on the other side with PSG. The PSG of Mbappé and Neymar, a completely different story. This time Ronaldo does not appear due to injury and Messi also rests after the friendly match against Al Hilal, due to a muscle problem also suffered by the Argentine. A friendly match that loses its importance, but an opportunity to see which of the two teams can excel without their champions. It is true that Inter Miami is preparing for the 2024 season, but it is also true that Al Nassr was without several players involved in the Asian Cup. And thus a pigeon shooting emerges, led by the Saudis. 12 minutes and Castro’s team is already ahead 3-0 under the watchful eyes of Ronaldo in the stands. He was the one who said that Saudi football was now at the level of the European championships, indeed, superior to some championships (see Ligue 1). In the second half Al Nassr spreads and Messi’s entry is not enough to change the fate of the match. The home fans, obviously fond of Ronaldo, made themselves heard with several “Where is Messi?”, exalted by the sensational 6-0 against the US team.
