The duel between the giants will also take place next year – although they are now playing on completely different continents. The multiple world footballers Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo can’t seem to get away from each other. The attackers, who regularly duel with FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, especially between 2009 and 2018, will have another chance to meet again at the beginning of February 2024. Ronaldo’s Saudi club Al-Nassr will then face Messi’s club Inter Miami in the Riyadh Season Cup.
Al-Hilal, where Messi’s former teammate Neymar is under contract, will also take part in the three-way tournament, which has not yet been exactly scheduled.
Messi and Ronaldo last met at the beginning of 2023
The organizer marketed the duel between the Argentine world champion Messi (36) and the Portuguese Ronaldo (38) as the “Last Dance”. This may actually be the case this time, because at the beginning of 2023, shortly after his move to Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo and Messi met with his then club Paris St. Germain for a friendly match in Riyadh.

This game was also hyped up to be the supposed last duel; a businessman shelled out 2.5 million euros for a super VIP ticket that, among other things, guaranteed him personal meetings with the two world stars on the sidelines of the game.
