A few days before the start of the Riyadh Season Cup in Saudi Arabia, where Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nassr) and Messi (Inter Miami) will face each other, we know the channels that will broadcast the event.
While competitions like the Africa Cup of Nations 2023 and the Asian Cup capture the attention of many football enthusiasts, the clubs of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are gearing up to clash. Currently in preparation for the return to the championship, Al Nassr and Inter Miami will play in the Riyadh Season Cup, a tournament set to kick off on January 29. Organized by the Saudis, this tournament will see the participation of a second Saudi club, Al Hilal, featuring Kalidou Koulibaly and Yassine Bounou. Are you looking for where to follow these enticing matches? Here’s the answer.
BeIN Sports and DAZN on the case
According to information from L’Equipe this Wednesday, the clash between Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi will be broadcast on Thursday, February 1, at 7 p.m. on beIN Sports 3 and on the DAZN streaming platform, free worldwide. “BeIN Sports and DAZN announced on Wednesday that they have acquired the broadcasting rights for the Riyadh Season Cup, organized from January 29 to February 8,” it reads. Unlike the Saudi Pro League, which is broadcast on the encrypted channel Canal +, the upcoming matches of Al Nassr and Al Hilal, hosting Inter Miami, will be aired on both audiovisual groups.
Even by moving to leagues less prestigious than the top five European ones, CR7 and La Pulga continue to make headlines. While the Argentine made a lot of noise recently with his awards (Ballon d’Or 2023 and FIFA The Best), the Portuguese made headlines with his 54 goals scored last year and his recent outspoken remarks. Indeed, during the Globe Soccer Awards ceremony that crowned him with the award for the best goal scorer of the calendar year, Cristiano Ronaldo did not hesitate to criticize FIFA and France Football, who awarded their recent trophies to Messi.
An interesting duel
With the legendary rivalry that exists between the two greatest players in the history of football with their achievements, the duel on February 1 promises to be epic. Not only is a trophy at stake, but both sides will have to win for prestige. Regardless of what is said, the duel between the two clubs promises to be epic with the big names that will be present on the field. Indeed, thanks to Saudi Arabia’s new policy, Al Nassr has secured other top players such as Aymeric Laporte, Marcelo Brozovic, Otavio, or Alex Telles, who are currently available.
For now, with the Africa Cup of Nations 2023 currently retaining players like Seko Fofana and Sadio Mane, who will face each other in the round of 16 on January 29, the Saudi club should do without its African stars. Perhaps in the event of elimination of Ivory Coast or Senegal next Monday, the one who exits will join Cristiano directly to challenge Lionel Messi’s team on Thursday.
For the past few weeks, Inter Miami has also strengthened with the arrival of Luis Suarez, the Uruguayan forward. As in the good old days at Barça, Suarez and Messi play together with other teammates like Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. Thus, there will be a lot of talent on the field on February 1 for the Riyadh Season Cup.
Inter Miami’s bad streak
As a reminder, Inter Miami is on a streak of 9 winless matches since the victory in the MLS against Toronto on September 20. Despite Suarez’s arrival, who has already played two matches, Beckham’s club is struggling. Against the Salvadoran club on January 20, the Floridian club drew (0-0) before being held by Dallas in the MLS preseason on January 22 (1-0). See you on January 29 for the match against Al Hilal in the opening of the Riyadh Season Cup to see if Messi and his teammates will finally win before facing Cristiano and Al Nassr on February 1.
