Lionel Messi's Inter Miami takes on Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr on Thursday in the Riyadh Season Cup in Saudi Arabia.

Described as the "final meeting between the two finest footballers of a generation," it was supposed to be the first time the two players had squared off since leaving Europe. However, it appears that Ronaldo will be unable to participate due to an injury.

Al-Nassr will be participating in the minor tournament for the first time. against Monday night, the MLS team took against Al Hilal, their Saudi championship opponents.

Al Hilal took the lead in this friendly mid-season competition after a nail-biting match that saw them win 4-3 courtesy to a late goal from Malcom.

The match between the two Saudi clubs is scheduled for February 8; depending on the outcome, it may wind up being a winner-take-all match.

With the Saudi Pro League title battle put on pause for the winter break, Al-Nassr is presently seven points behind Al Hilal.

That's even if Luis Castro's team ended 2023 with five straight victories and 21 goals scored.

It will be a major loss since Ronaldo was on target in each of the five wins and is presently the division's leading scorer with 20 goals in 18 games this season.

Messi's Inter Miami team enters the match at the other end of the form spectrum, having only managed three points from their last six MLS regular season games, which kept them out of the playoffs.

Inter Miami finished second-bottom in the Eastern Conference despite winning 11 of the 12 games they played after Messi's debut.

They haven't improved on the field despite their continued busyness since the conclusion of their league season.

In domestic friendlies, the team lost to FC Dallas and New York City FC, and even with a formidable starting lineup, they were only able to draw 0-0 with El Salvador before falling to Al Hilal 4-3 earlier this week.

After this match, they will have finished their short Riyadh Season Cup campaign. In only 11 days, they will travel to eastern Asia to play Hong Kong All-Stars and Vissel Kobe, and then come home to play Messi's childhood team, Newell's Old Boys, in preparation for the MLS season.
