Ronaldo vs Messi: GOAT debate finally set to come to an end as Inter Miami take on Al Nassr
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will face off for the last time when Inter Miami and Al Nassr meet in the Riyadh season cup in February.
Saudi officials initially announced Inter Miami's participation in the tournament, albeit prematurely, as the MLS side came out to debunk the reports.
Now, it appears that there have been further discussions between both parties and the event is now back on.

"These matches will offer important tests for our team, which will benefit us as we approach the new season," Inter Miami sporting director Chris Henderson said.
