Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates returned to Saudi Arabia on January 27 to prepare for the meeting with Messi and Inter Miami Club at 1:00 a.m. on February 2 at the Riyadh Season Cup.
Saudi Arabian fans are very interested in the question of whether Cristiano Ronaldo will recover in time to practice and compete. Because everyone is looking forward to the confrontation between this famous player and his long-time rival Messi.
"Cristiano Ronaldo himself is determined to play against Messi and Inter Miami. He is aware that the fans' expectations are too great, as they have welcomed Messi so enthusiastically. Therefore, if he misses the appointment, it will seriously affect his reputation with Saudi Arabian fans," said Arab Sports .
"Al Nassr's activities have not received much attention recently after they canceled their matches in China. Ronaldo and his teammates have just returned to Riyadh (Saudi Arabia). The famous player seems to be in very good spirits. Thereby, it shows that he is very determined to treat his injury in time to recover soon to return to training to prepare for the confrontation with Messi," Arab Sports shared.
Meanwhile, Inter Miami Club and Messi have been in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) for about 2 days and have been practicing to prepare for the matches against Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Hilal and Al Nassr clubs on January 30 and February 2 respectively.
Messi (right) and Suarez will likely sit out the match against Al Hilal, to save energy for the match against Ronaldo and Al Nassr.
"With only a few days between the two matches in the Riyadh Season Cup, Inter Miami will have about 2 days off. Coach Tata Martino may rotate the squad. It is likely that Messi and Suarez will not play against Al Hilal, the team is also missing many stars due to being busy competing in the African Cup of Nations. They will be saved to join Jordi Albi and Sergio Busquets in the match against Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr," commented AS (Spain).
Just before the matches at the Riyadh Season Cup, Inter Miami FC received consecutive bad news when another star suffered a serious injury and was out for a long time, striker Benjamin Cremaschi (out for 3 months due to a groin injury). Previously, player Farias had a torn ligament and had to undergo surgery and was out for the rest of the 2024 season.
