Following Al-Nassr’s 6-0 humiliation of Lionel Messi and Inter Miami on Thursday, February 1, a remark from Cristiano Ronaldo that was once popular has reappeared. Due to an injury, the Portuguese sensation was forced to miss the match, but he still had the final laugh as his teammates destroyed the Major League Soccer (MLS) team.
For Cristiano Ronaldo’s team, Anderson Talisca grabbed a hat-trick, and Otavio, Aymeric Laporte, and Mohammed Maran additionally found the back of the net. Because of a recent knock, Ronaldo’s enduring adversary Lionel Messi was placed on the bench and entered the game with a late substitution.
After Saudi Arabia’s decisive victory against Inter Miami, some of Cristiano Ronaldo’s previous sayings have come back to life. The Portuguese sensation once declared that Major League Soccer was inferior to the Saudi Pro League.
The 38-year-old, who vowed never to play football again in Europe, further asserted that by moving to Al-Nassr, he cleared the path for famous players to come to Saudi Arabia. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Cristiano Ronaldo said, “Saudi league is better than MLS. I’m 100% sure I won’t return to any European club. I opened the way to Saudi league… and now all the players are coming here.”
“Messi pushed me once the ball was out” : Aziz Behich
Aziz Behich, the new Al-Nassr companion of Cristiano Ronaldo, got into a furious argument on the pitch with Lionel Messi. Argentina defeated Australia 2-1 in their Round of 16 encounter during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, when the two faced off.
After the ball left the play, Behich, who played for the Socceroos during that match, said Lionel Messi shoved him. The 33-year-old full-back stated the following following the game (per Fox Sports) said, “He (Messi) pushed me once the ball was out and I’ve always been throughout my career that, when I’m on that pitch I kind of see black. I don’t see an opponent or a name or anything like that. I’m out there to help my team win and I do whatever I can for that to happen. There’s obviously respect there for the opponent and that, but it’s just a heat of the moment thing.”

Ronaldo is good, but Messi is from a different planet. The greatest of time.
