In the world of football, some rivalries cross borders and attract fans around the world. Among them was the dispute between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi on the pitch. Although fans will no longer be able to see this rivalry in Europe, it could be revived at an unexpected stage. A recent report leaking on X, formerly known as Twitter, has sparked a debate online.
Lionel Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo once again
Since both star players left the European leagues where they spent their careers, the luxury of a battle between these two undisputed Greatest Of All Time (G.O.A.Ts) has somehow disappeared. But die-hard fans may be in for the surprise of a lifetime.
In the history of football, Messi vs. Ronaldo is one of the most intense rivalry and fans really enjoy watching them take on each other.
Messi vs Ronaldo in China
As per the recent development, fans can witness Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr and Messi’s Inter Miami in an action-packed match in China. The report added that the administration is looking at the Saudi Pro League calendar during the Asian Cup break to schedule friendly matches.
Here’s what report suggests
Football fans are now in for a treat again. But this time the background is different. As Al Bilad Daily reporter Ali Alabdallh reported, a Chinese international marketing company apparently wants to hold a friendly match between Inter Miami and Al-Nassr in China. It would also bring the star players of both teams, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, to the same stage.
Al-Nassr sent invitations to participate in friendly matches in China in January. In addition, they received requests to participate in several matches in two still-unknown Gulf countries. So far, the Riyadh-based club has not responded to any of those offers.
Apart from the Ronaldo-Messi faceoff, reports have also suggested a possible Saudi Arabia Pro League All-Star Game against Premier League champions Manchester City in January.
