This crucial match represents a key phase in Inter Miami’s intensive preparation for their upcoming season, which kicks off on February 21st against Real Salt Lake. At the heart of their lineup is the legendary Lionel Messi, whose first season with Miami has been nothing short of spectacular, marked by a Leagues Cup victory and an unprecedented eighth Ballon d’Or win. His remarkable record so far includes 11 goals and 8 assists in just 14 games.
The anticipation around Inter Miami has surged, especially with the addition of Luis Suárez, Messi’s former Barcelona teammate, who has recently dominated in Brazil’s top football league. The team is further strengthened by the presence of seasoned players like Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, as well as emerging talents Benjamin Cremaschi and goalkeeper Drake Callender.
Their opponents, Al Nassr, are a powerhouse in the Saudi Pro League, currently in second place and regular contenders in the AFC Champions League. Their squad is headlined by the global football icon Cristiano Ronaldo, though participation is uncertain due to a calf injury.
