Over the course of a friendly encounter that took place in Saudi Arabia on the morning of February 2, Messi and his colleagues were defeated by Al Nassr by a score of 0 for 6.

Lionel Messi was hauled onto the field by Al Nassr’s coach Gerardo Martino in the 83rd minute, when the score was 6-0 in favor of Al Nassr. As a result of the fact that he was injured, “El Pulga” did not play to its full potential. Despite the fact that he practically stepped onto the field, he was unable to assist Inter Miami in achieving even an honorable mention.

The Chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Entertainment, Turki Al-Sheikh, made a mocking gesture toward Messi by raising six fingers to his head immediately after Messi made his appearance on the field. Additionally, the audience at Kingdom Arena erupted in laughter in response to the news.Although Cristiano Ronaldo was sidelined with an injury on that particular day, Al Nassr nonetheless shown greater strength when competing against opponents from the United States. In just twelve minutes, the Saudi Pro League representative scored three goals that caused Inter Miami’s goal to be blown out of proportion. They took turns writing their names on the scoreboard: Otavio (three minutes), Anderson Talisca (ten minutes), and Aymeric Laporte (thirteen minutes). Laporte even managed to score a spectacular goal from inside the stadium.

Al Nassr continued to play half-court throughout the second half of the game, while Inter Miami was dismally slow in circumstances involving the deployment of the ball. Talisca scored a double with a penalty kick that was taken correctly in the 48th minute of the game. Twenty minutes later, Maran scored a goal with a header that was extremely threatening, bringing the score to 5-0. After 73 minutes, the Inter Mimia net began to vibrate once more. In the beginning, the referee did not allow Talisca to score. Nevertheless, the VAR disagreed with this ruling and overturned it. Al Nassr was able to secure a 6-0 victory thanks to the hat-trick that was scored by the Brazilian striker.

It was stated by Coach Luis Castro that Ronaldo will be returning to train with the club once approximately five days have passed. This indicates that CR7 will continue to be absent from the friendly match that will take place on February 9 against Al Hilal. The AFC Champions League encounter against Al Feiha will take place on February 15, and Ronaldo will relax in order to have the greatest possible preparation for the contest.
