After several months in which Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi stopped facing each other in the Spanish League, both will relive the clashes they always had when Real Madrid and FC Barcelona met in the Spanish Classics.
Each one took different courses when they left their Spanish teams. Cristiano went to Juventus and later returned to Manchester United, while Messi left his beloved Barcelona to go to Paris Saint Germain (PSG).
Now, with different realities, in the Middle East they arranged a friendly match to make both meet, perhaps, for the last time
The biggest teams in the Saudi Arabian league, Al Nassr and Al Hilal will unite their squads to face Paris Saint Germain (PSG) as part of the plan to promote football in that country.
In that clash Cristiano Ronaldo will be defending the Arab cause, against a PSG that promised to go with all its pieces led by Messi.
When will the last game between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi take place? Both will face each other this year
The game will take place on Thursday, January 19 at 12:00, Ecuador time, and so far all tickets are sold out.
The expectation goes beyond knowing that Messi leads the direct confrontations against Cristiano with 16 wins and 22 goals, compared to the 11 that the Portuguese has with 21 goals.
The last time they met was on December 8, 2020, when Juventus defeated FC Barcelona 0-3, with two goals from Cristiano. The victory served for the people from Turin to take first place in the group in the Champions League.
