Messi vs Ronaldo: Inter Miami to face Al Nassr in February

Inter Miami have confirmed that they will take on Saudi powerhouses, Al Hilal and Al Nassr in the Riyadh Season Cup.

Inter’s sporting director, Chris Henderson said on Monday that the team would face Al Hilal at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh on January 29.

He added that they will then play against Al Nassr at the same venue on February 1, giving Messi the chance to lock horns once again with Ronaldo, his arch rival in the game.

“These matches will offer important tests for our team, which will benefit us as we approach the new season.

“We’re excited for our group to get the chance to go up against teams with as much quality as Al-Hilal and Al Nassr,” Henderson said.

Miami will travel to Hong Kong following the Saudi Arabia games to play a team made up from the Chinese territory’s First Division on February 4.

The team will then head back to the US for the start of the MLS season later in February.
