Ever since signing with Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo has been one of the top performers in the Saudi Pro League. It seems like his arch-nemesis Lionel Messi may also create history with MLS club Inter Miami.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored 2 goals and helped his team Al-Nassr beat the opponent Al-Hilal in the Club Championship final. Ronaldo scored both goals and helped push the game into extra time. The final scoreline was then 2-1 in favor of Al-Nassr resulting in them clinching the King Salman Club Championship which was held in Taif.
Just after the heroics of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi entered the League Cup Final with Inter Miami. The question all around the footballing world is if Messi will be able to create the same magic and heroics by winning the League Cup final with Inter Miami as Cristiano Ronaldo did with his team Al-Nassr.
