Messi-Cristiano in an attractive duel of contrasts

Havana, January 19 (RHC) - The world of soccer will come to a standstill this Thursday when the French PSG of Argentine Lionel Messi faces the best players of the Saudi League clubs Al Nassr and Al Hilal, led by Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo.

It will almost certainly be the last duel between the soccer idols of recent years, Messi and Cristiano.

The game, scheduled for the King Fahd Stadium, will have a more commercial than sporting character, especially since Messi and CR7 live different realities today.

Messi Leo (35 years old) has just won the World Cup in Qatar and is still a star at the highest level, while Cristiano (37) was signed by Al-Nassr of the irrelevant Saudi league, after being benched by Portugal's coach during the World Cup.

However, the program is still attractive, with PSG stars such as Kylian Mbappé and Neymar also expected to shine.
