Inside Inter Miami: The Last Dance is here, plus the growing MLS-Saudi Pro League rivalry
Will it be “The Last Dance?”
Lionel Messi is expected to play. But will Cristiano Ronaldo, who is nursing a calf injury?
The two soccer megastars are set to clash - if Ronaldo is fit to play - on Thursday at 1 p.m. EST when Inter Miami takes on Al-Nassr in an exhibition game at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Inside Inter Miami’s hosts Michelle Kaufman and Andre Fernandez dive into this matchup and the global rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo, its history and how it really has no comparison in American sports.
We also dive into the growing rivalry on and off the field between Major League Soccer and the Saudi Pro League as both leagues compete for the sport’s top stars and try to lift their status globally.
We also look at Inter Miami’s 4-3 loss on Monday night to Al-Hilal as the club finally got on the scoreboard, but did not look impressive at all on the defensive end. Is there cause for concern or is this still part of the process of the club getting ready for the season and its roster developing cohesion on the field?
