Injured in a calf and remaining in the stands, Cristiano Ronaldo had to be content to admire the demonstration of his Al-Nassr team this Thursday evening against Inter Miami (6-0) by a certain… Lionel Messi. The Argentine world champion only returned at the end of the match after starting on the bench. Spanish international of French origin Aymeric Laporte notably scored a sumptuous goal from his own half (12th).
The Brazilian Talisca scored a hat-trick while Otavio and Maran finished the job. On the American club side, however, there were some pretty names. Former Liverpool or Barcelona striker Luis Suarez was notably lined up up front. In midfield, Barça legend Sergio Busquets started as Spanish international Jordi Alba.
