Football fans across the globe will be treated with an epic friendly featuring two of the biggest football stars - Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The two football legends will lock horns in a rivalry renewing clash when Inter Miami face Al-Nassr in a pre-season friendly in Saudi Arabia in February.
The fixture is part of the Riyadh Season Cup, with Miami also playing Al-Hilal on 29 January.
Inter Miami previously denied they were taking part in the tournament when plans were initially announced in November.
"These matches will offer important tests for our team," Inter Miami sporting director Chris Henderson said.
"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."
Widely regarded as all-time greats, forwards Messi, 36, and Ronaldo, 38, first met in 2008 when Manchester United beat Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals and have faced each other on a further 34 occasions, with the Argentine winning 16 times and the Portuguese coming out on top in 10 fixtures, while nine have ended in a draw.
Across those 35 encounters, Messi has scored 21 goals and laid on 12 assists, while Ronaldo, 38, has 20 goals and one assist to his name.
It will be a rollercoaster as the two superstars renew their rivalry in what could possibly be their last meeting before calling time on their heroic career.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who is currently plying his trade with Al Nassr is still on top his game despite approaching the twilights of his career. Ronaldo has scored 50 goals for Al Nassr in 2023. He is the highest goalscorer in all the top leagues around the world.
Lionel Messi has been phenomenal for Inter Miami since joining the club in a groundbreaking transfer move from PSG. Lionel Messi took the MLS by storm with a brilliant start. He scored 10 goals to help the club win their first silverware.
Messi signed a two-year contract with Inter Miami while Cristiano Ronaldo signed a two-and-a-half year contract with Al Nassr. The two players left the shores of Europe nearing the the twilight of their careers but are still shining bright for their respective clubs and national teams.
The Riyadh Season Cup will offer the two players a chance to once again thrill football fans with their individual brilliance and also sway their rival camps on the 'Goat Debate.'
