This match really surprised everyone, no one even thought that Al Nassr would be able to play very well in that match without Cristiano Ronaldo. In fact I also not expected that Al Nassr would embarrass Inter Miami with an extraordinary landslide score which has superstar player in it, and this is enough to prove that Al Nassr is a much better club than Inter Miami even though it has players like Lionel Messi and I can also guarantee that the Saudi league has greater strength than the American team.

Anything can still happen in football, initially many thought that the American team was much better than the Saudi league, but in reality Al Hilal and Al Nassr were able to prove that the Saudi league cannot be underestimated. The presence of Cristiano Ronaldo has certainly improved the league itself. In my opinion, Messi and Ronaldo are still the kings of football, it's just that now they are in different leagues and have different squad performances.

It could also be the case, with the victory achieved by Al Nasr in the friendly match against Inter Miami, it can show that Saudi Pro is no less good than MLS and this match really surprised me because Inter Miami was completely beaten and Al Nasr did not give the slightest chance to win. . this match.
What we know is that if Ronaldo had not been played in this match, Inter Miami would most likely have won, but on the other hand the Al Nasr players proved that they could also play well and in fact without Ronaldo Al Nasr scored many goals and won. against Inter. Miami. What an interesting and surprising match for me personally.

Are you sure about this? because I didn't see Cristiano's name on the Suspensions & Injuries list.


Actually, we can't make a comparison between these two teams, they're completely on different levels. Based on data from FDB, Inter Miami is ranked 109th on the North American continent while Al-Nassr is ranked 2nd for teams on the Asian continent. Apart from that, we can also see the class of each team in their domestic standings, it's very unequal.

That's the reason why Al-Nassr is so strong even though they're not reinforced by their key players who are currently competing in other competitions such as Sadio Mane who is currently playing for Senegal.

Of course many were disappointed because they wanted to see a meeting between the two stars who would show each other's true performance but Ronaldo was injured and Messi entered the field in the second half and only appeared for a few minutes and I think this was like it was set up from the start to avoid something that happened.
We all know the contradictions between Messi and Ronaldo, of course there are also a lot of fans of these two players and to avoid something bad happening there is drama like Ronaldo getting injured, whereas I saw in the last match of Al Nassr against Al Taawon it seemed like Ronaldo didn't have any problems but surprisingly There were rumors that Ronaldo was injured and even more strangely, Messi only came on after 80 minutes.

I'm just saying about something that I think is strange when two star players are going to face each other but on the one hand there are cons and in the end the two players are managed not to face each other because maybe either party is afraid that there will be chaos among the supporters who get emotional when they see the player or club the favorites lost so I thought Ronaldo's absence was set in motion from the start.

Yes, the match did not meet the expectations of Ronaldo and Messi fans. Because I personally also hope that in this match Ronaldo and Messi can contribute fully. However, it cannot be denied that Ronaldo is still injured and Messi is also confused. The reason is that in the first half Inter Miami was heavily beaten by Al Nasr. So according to my assumption, he chose to play it safe by playing in the final minutes. Because if Messi plays from the first half or at the start of the second half, and in the end Inter Miami still loses to Al Nasr. I'm sure this will definitely have a big impact on Messi's reputation. So it is most likely because of this that Messi was only played briefly by Inter Miami. Because he is afraid that Messi will be blasphemed by his own fans. So in essence, I personally am not satisfied with the match. Because of the expectations that I have, the match will run with exciting buying and selling of attacks between the two teams and there will also be a very exciting score chase. But none of that happened, because in that match only Al Nasr was the one who controlled the game.

But that's okay, it's also the world of football, sometimes predictions and expectations don't match reality. Because the most important thing is, now we know the condition of the players who were once great, but have now experienced a decline in performance. So hopefully, there will be another match that will bring Messi and Ronaldo together before they both retire from the world of football.

There are many news about Cristiano Ronaldo's injury and probability that he will not join the friendly match. However, I did not read any news that Lionel Messi got an injury and can not join that match as a debut player of Inter Miami.

Because of Ronaldo injury, I believe that if Al Nassr get bad result, he will not be used by Al Nassr. They actually need him for more important matches in Saudi Professional League than this friendly match.

I have different thinking as Messi played some minutes in the friendly match because Inter Miami want to satisfy their fans and it can be part of their club contract with investors and sponsors, partners. With about ten minutes of playing and when Al Nassr already led too far, Messi could not create any magic on the field.

It was totally a marketing ploy, but even without them on the field, despite Messi's appearance, those who wanted a show managed to see a lot of goals and in the end they must have been content. I particularly wanted to see both of them playing, but unfortunately that didn't happen.

However, previously the Al Nassr manager had announced that Cristiano Ronaldo had just suffered an injury so he would most likely not participate in the friendly match and the public should not have full expectations of the meeting between the two star players in the field, in fact I myself also thought that Ronaldo would be played, even if only for a short time, but Because the Al Nassr players played very impressively, Ronaldo was still not played.

Messi came out in the final minutes because his team had not scored a goal at all against Al Nassr. He hoped that after Messi was played, the player could break into Al Nassr's goal, but it turned out that Messi's entry couldn't break through the hosts' goal at all. I think this was because the Miami players didn't can help him create goal opportunities.

Cristiano Ronaldo had been injured since a week before the match was due to take place. He had a muscle injury or something like that. I forget the details. But he got injured in training or something like that.
And the other fact is that Al-Nassr weren't playing at full strength because a lot of players were out after the Asian Cup and African Cup of Nations. But it's amazing to see that Al-Nassr still managed to beat Inter Miami, which actually has some former Barcelona players who used to be very qualified and famous. It's just that the former Barcelona players are no longer young. Like Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets who are already 34 or 35. 

The result was good for al nassr but i only consider intermiami as the worst team in the MLS and so, this result is not that special for me. The match did not turn out to be as special as expected because the main attraction that would have drawn a large audience did not take place.
The reason why this match has garnered so much interest is because people are eager to see Ronaldo and Messi compete against each other, although it is disappointing that it won't occur. The main show was failed to attract a lot of people to watch this and im sure that people are also feeling disappointed caused by this too.

While some may argue that Al Nassr has scored numerous goals, it is important to note that many consider Inter Miami to be the weakest team in the MLS. Moreover, it must be acknowledged that this outcome, where a top team in the SPL faces a mediocre team from the MLS, is quite common.
It is important for everyone to acknowledge and accept the fact that InterMiami did not make significant progress in the last season, even when Messi's presence did not have a significant impact on the club's position.

This show was entirely fueled by the stupid sense of rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi among the Gen Z population. Neither the US league or the Saudi league made any headlines before these two football stars joining them. These two teams would have never met on this earth unless it was for the Messi-Ronaldo.
Both of Inter Miami and Al-Nassr are weak teams compared to any European league teams with or without Messi or Ronaldo and Messi, Ronaldo as well Luis Suarez are not in top of their performance as their career high. The game itself was dominated with Al-nassr's goal proving them to be the better team and they did also had the home ground advantage.

Inter Miami's match was against Al-Hilal with a score of 4-3 and Al-Hilal was of course the winner, while Al-Nassr was against Inter Miami with a score of 6-0. If you look at the score, of course Al-Nassr was superior because Messi and his friends couldn't move when against Al-Nassr.

The injury suffered by Cristiano Ronaldo was of course what made Cristiano Ronaldo not appear in the match, but of course Ronaldo's appearance even off the field was still very entertaining and I really liked the expression on Ronaldo's face when Al-nassr scored a goal.

Of course, Inter Miami's match against Al-Nassr made Lionel Messi sad because his team lost, but Inter Miami's match against Al-Nassr certainly made Ronaldo happy because his team won.

You may be right in some ways,  because the club a player is playing for matters to his career also because at some points in time,  Messi performance decreased significantly this is because there was no match up support coming from the other team members that could match up with his skills and this have resulted in counter-productive for messy for a while now,  so even though he is happy,  he may not be achieving much being on that club.

But then let's see what will come out with this whole step and thing as time goes on and we believe and expect to see more from Messi Reg and his teammates.

The SPL are mainly for the top serious players, a league that's been challenging for most of these European players. Winning Inter Miami 6-0 was pure humiliation, I expects the Knights of Najd to win but was surprised when the scores reach such significant change. Al Nassr vs Inter Miami, it was supposed to be one of the top game in the history of football but it turns out that the incredible big names in football didn't feature, thereby the viewers that travel far away just to watch these two GOATs in action again, they didn't settle for the high expectations they needed.

That was definitely not the type of game that I expected to see. Don't get me wrong, we already knew that Al-Nassr was better than Inter Miami, that part wasn't the shocking part, but I assumed even with Ronaldo they would win by 2 or 3 goals at best, that would be the result in my mind. Without Ronaldo? I would say they would barely win with either 1 or maybe if lucky 2 goals.

The fact that they didn't had Ronaldo, and still won 6-0 is something I couldn't even dream of, that seemed like something nobody saw coming. It has once again proved to the world that MLS is much much worse than SPL, which isn't news really, one has nearly no good players and the other is spending some decent money on getting players, but still, the difference might be bigger than we assumed.

Their era has ended, even though Messi and Ronaldo are available to play as starting lineups but still,basically this is just a friendly match so there is no high tension on the field . Also, it seems like Inter Miami doesn't have good quality and therefore, in reality Inter Miami also lost by Al Hilal who played more secon tierplayers and against Al Nassr, inreality Inter Miami lost badly even though Ronaldo didn't play. With results like that,it is clear that Inter Miami is not better than the Mediocre team because in reality Inter Miami is also in the bottom zone in the MLS standings and clearly, no can expect good results from Inter Miami.

Messi's move to Inter Miami is his biggest mistake because he is a high-standard player, and it is not appropriate for him to play in a small league or with a small team. Even if it is seen, he can still play for European clubs. Lionel Messi It would have been better if he went to another club instead of Inter Miami. Inter Miami is a layclub whose tactics favor a weak result. Therefore, according to my estimation, Lionel Mexico should leave Inter Miami because Inter Miami does not have the competence required for a top club. Instead of Inter Miami, he should go to the English Premier League, i.e., Chelsea, because Chelsea has the ability of a big club and they are also familiar with the ability of a big player, so I think Lionel Messi would have preferred Chelsea instead of Inter Miami. Lionel Messi would have used his play in a better way.

Haha, I always laugh when I see that photo, seeing Messi reaction, like he's tense and full of worry, because even though this is just a friendly match, for Messi, this is about the reputation he has to fight for because the match against Al Hilal was lost, while the match against Al Nassr also lost with a big score very embarrassing.
I was actually disappointed and dissatisfied when Ronaldo couldn't appear in the match, but I imagined what if Ronaldo had been present in the match, maybe 10-0 could have happened.

Inter Miami must learn from the Saudi Arabian club how to play and how to perform in order to become a good club in the eyes of the world and even though it is only a friendly match, I think the way Inter Miami plays is very different from Al Nassr and also Al Hilal, even Inter Miami looks very different weak in the attack line and defense line so it is natural to lose against an Arab club.
The presence of European players like Ronaldo has a big influence on other players and I am sure everyone here will say the same thing if Ronaldo arrival at Al Nassr has a positive influence on other players who will have a strong mentality to face any club.
Laporte should get an award after successfully scoring with a shot from a very long distance.

Yesterday, the MLS preseason game hosted the most anticipated friendly. Al‐Nassr took on Inter Miami and testifyingly, it was a big win and a very shameful defeat for both Al Nassr and Inter Miami respectively. These two teams had so many things to offer in the game but in some kind of way the Saudi side was far better than the American side. I expected Al-Nassr to win that game but the scoreline was so suprising and embarrassing. They didn't give Miami any chance to fan the back of the net.

 I don't know how it happened but for the fact that Al-Nassr without Ronaldo was able to bring down Inter Miami with Messi having a part to play in the game, it only sends a clear message that it's definitely not Ronaldo that holds the team in it's high esteem. They did really well and I hope that football fans now would choose and remain put on whom their football king is.

Is it not somehow that Ronaldo was not available for this game and Messi came on late. It would have been a better game had both players played, the game would have attracted more interest. The Saudi league recently signed many players who made the quality of the league improve, Al Nassr have been playing serious games with other strong Saudi clubs and I believe they were better prepared. The game would have gone any way to me, it does not reduce the record that has been achieved by Lionel Messi.
