In a highly anticipated clash, Lionel Messi's team, Inter Miami, is set to face Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr in a friendly game titled 'The Last Dance' in Saudi Arabia in February 2024. This match, part of the Riyadh Season Cup, marks a potentially final showdown between two soccer legends. The game will also feature a reunion as Ronaldo confronts former Barcelona favorites Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, now playing for Miami.
Messi, 36, and Ronaldo, 38, renowned for their iconic rivalry, have faced each other 36 times in competitive matches. The friendly match reignites the ongoing debate over who is the greater player.
