Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami squad engaged in a captivating seven-goal spectacle against Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia. Despite the excitement of Messi teaming up with former Barcelona mates Suarez, Busquets, and Alba, Al Hilal emerged victorious in the friendly match.
Facing the league leaders, Inter Miami knew they had a challenging task ahead. The match began with Al Hilal’s dominance, as Mitrovic scored the opener within the first 10 minutes, followed by Alhamddan doubling the lead shortly after. Luis Suarez managed to pull one back, but Al Hilal’s Michael extended their lead with a goal just before halftime, celebrating with Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic ‘Siu’ gesture in front of Messi and teammates.
However, the second half witnessed a remarkable comeback from Inter Miami. Messi converted a penalty, and David Ruiz equalized within minutes, turning the tide in favor of the MLS side. As the match seemed destined for a draw, Malcom secured the final goal, leading Al Hilal to a 4-3 victory.
Looking ahead, Inter Miami is set to face Al Nassr in the next friendly, promising a potential showdown between Messi and Ronaldo. With Neymar sidelined due to injury, fans are eagerly anticipating the clash between these football legends on the same field.
The seven-goal thriller against Al Hilal showcased the competitive spirit and resilience of Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami, setting the stage for more exciting encounters in their upcoming matches in Saudi Arabia.
