In what promises to be a monumental clash for football fans worldwide, Lionel Messi's Inter Miami will lock horns with Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr in a much-anticipated friendly match named 'The Last Dance.' Scheduled for February as part of the Riyadh Season Cup in Saudi Arabia, the game is set to witness the culmination of an era as two of the sport's greatest players face off, potentially for the final time.
Ronaldo's move to Al Nassr in December 2022 came after a turbulent departure from Manchester United, setting the stage for this historic encounter. Adding to the intrigue, the fixture will reunite Ronaldo with former Barcelona stalwarts Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, who joined Messi in Miami.
Further intensifying the spectacle, speculation suggests that Luis Suarez might join the ranks of Inter Miami from Gremio, potentially amplifying the star-studded lineup.
The Al Nassr squad boasts formidable talents such as Sadio Mane, Aymeric Laporte, Alex Telles, and David Ospina from various top clubs in Europe.
The competition will also feature Neymar Al Hilal. Unfortunately, the Brazilian sidelined with an ACL injury, won't feature in the competition.
Despite Inter Miami's early-season struggles, which led to their omission from the MLS playoffs, the team managed to secure the Leagues Cup and secured a berth in the US Open Cup final.
In the Saudi Arabian Pro League, Ronaldo's Al Nassr currently sits second, with the prolific Portuguese forward leading the goal-scoring charts, setting the stage for an electrifying showdown against Messi's Inter Miami in February.
