Lionel Messi has still got it
Messi is doing his thing on the big stage again, and it’s just a shame we couldn’t also see Cristiano Ronaldo taking part in this tournament.
There are Saudi clubs in the competition, but Al Nassr didn’t qualify, so we don’t get to watch Ronaldo competing against Messi in a major tournament like we used to.
Messi on his own is enough to light up any game of football, though, and it could mean we’re about to see something of an upset here as Inter Miami lead Porto 2-1 at the time of writing.
