Teammates celebrate ‘SIUU’ style to pay tribute to Ronaldo on the day Al Nassr destroyed Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami 6-0

A humiliating loss to Al Nassr marked the conclusion of Inter Miami’s trip of Saudi Arabia. The match took place on a day when Cristiano Ronaldo was absent, and Lionel Messi was a substitute for the team.

After suffering a loss against Al-Hilal by a score of 3-4, Inter Miami announced their departure from the Middle East by playing a friendly match against Al Nassr. In the end, Cristiano Ronaldo was not even on the bench for the matchup between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, despite the fact that everyone had high expectations for the pairing.

Messi did not take part in the match either, as Inter Miami made the announcement on its social networks that he was not on the bench. However, the statement was eventually removed and replaced with a new one, which stated that the number 10 was an alternative for coach Gerardo Martino.

The start of the North American team’s game could not have been worse, as they were defeated by a score of 0-3 after only 11 minutes of play. When Otavio scored his first goal after 120 seconds of play, it was like a bucket of cold water in front of the American team. During the tenth minute, Anderson Talisca scored a second goal, making him the primary attacker in the fearsome trident. A few seconds later, Aymeric Laporte scored a magnificent goal that was deserving of the Puskas Award. Ronaldo’s absence made it possible for Talisca to take over as the main attacker in the trident.

After a corner kick was taken in the seventeenth minute, Inter Miami immediately answered with a header from Sergio Busquets that was deflected. The most obvious opportunity for the Florida squad came in the 28th minute, when Luis Suarez volleyed a shot that David Ospina diverted so that it went wide of the goal. In the aftermath of that save, the Colombian goalkeeper was forced to leave the pitch and was replaced by Waleed Abdullah, who successfully prevented Leonardo Campana from scoring. There was a pointless incident between Alex Telles and Callender that took place in the final minutes of the first half.

The parity that Inter Miami shown at the end of the first half was rapidly lost due to the fact that they lacked depth against Al Nassr, a team that appeared to be particularly threatening in the last meters of the game. This was demonstrated at the opening of the second half when Callender made a stop on Abdulaziz Al-Aliwa; however, all of that positive news was thrown away in a single minute when Mohammed Maran was pulled down by Inter Miami’s goalie in the penalty area. The referee then indicated the location of the penalty spot. Talisca was successful in striking the target from 11 meters away, bringing the score to 4-0.

In yet another instance, the side that was coached by coach Luis Castro gave over the initiative to their rivals, who had significant difficulties in concluding the game. An superb block by Waleed Abdullah prevented Luis Suarez from taking a straight shot in the 61st minute, and then it was Campana’s turn to aim, but his attempt went over the crossbar. Due to the fact that Maran and Talisca caused the score to climb to 6-0 between minutes 67 and 72, Inter Miami was ultimately forced to pay a significant price for this waste of time.
