Al Nassr wants to make a point and they are doing it without Cristiano Ronaldo as the Saudi Pro League side is up 3-0 at the 20th minute of a long-awaited exhibition match that does not feature Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi.
Messi’s absence is a bit eye-raising, according to reports out of Saudi Arabia the Argentine number 10 has a discomfort in the bicep and was pulled in the last minute.
Nonetheless Al Nassr has made short work of a terribly lined up Inter Miami team with an array of tactical and defensive errors. Spanish defender Aymeric Laporte added insult to injury with a goal from midfield.
