it was clear from the very first minute that al Nasar was going to win the game but with this lead?? nobody thought. inter Miami could not score a single goal which shows they lack deeply in attack.
Both Team’s Defense
talking about defense, inter Miami’s defense level was very low as per the game they were offered by al Nasar. on the other hand al Nasar did not concede a single goal which shoed their strong defense against inter Miami. Messi joined very late but could not make any significant difference in the game. despite having Sergio Busquets, Luis Suárez and Jordi Alba in the pitch, inter Miami could display any tough competition on the other hand al Nasar was looking quite confident and well coordinated. this game bring forth the fact that Saudi league is way ahead than MLS.

Talisca played a crucial role as his team, the SPL team, defeated MLS club in a recent Riyadh Season Cup match. Ronaldo was absent from the Al-Nasar team due to a hamstring injury, while Messi was also missing from his team’s starting lineup. According to the Miami Herald’s Michel Kaufman, the 2023 Ballon d’Or winner felt discomfort during the 3-4 loss against Al-Hilal and had to pass through an MRI.
Talisca’ Hat-trick
Talisca stole the spotlight with a superb hat-trick (10′, 51′ P, 73′) in the absence of the superstar forwards. After his third goal, he celebrated by imitating Cristiano Ronaldo’s famous “Siuuu” celebration. Other scorers for Nights of Najd were Otavio (3′), Aymeric Laporte (12′), and Mohammed Maran (68′). Laporte’s goal was particularly noteworthy as the Spanish international scored a free-kick from inside his own half.

In the 83rd minute, Lionel Messi made an appearance as a substitute. However, the fate of the game had already been decided long before his entry.
Why Messi joind late
The theory of Turkey Al-Sheikh that, why Lionel Messi missed the match against Al-Nassr, fans were disappointed who were hoping to see another battle between the GOATs, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. While Al-Nassr’s head coach Luis Castro had informed about Ronaldo’s absence before the game, Messi’s exclusion from the Inter Miami lineup came as a surprise.
Turki Al-Sheikh, the chairman of the General Authority of Entertainment in Saudi Arabia, claimed that he wanted to avoid the embarrassment of facing defeat against Al-Nassr without Ronaldo. He stated, “I heard about Messi’s substitute player situation. He saw that Cristiano was absent, and he was afraid that he would lose against Al-Nassr without Ronaldo. So, he stumbled and said, ‘Let me go.'”
espite the humor, the possibility of fans ever witnessing Ronaldo and Messi facing each other on the field remains doubtful. It seems their remarkable journey is coming to an end, with Ronaldo turning 39 on February 5 and Messi turning 37 in June.
