On January 29, Inter Miami will face Al Hilal, with both friendlies taking place as part of the Riyadh Season Cup. Al Hilal is the club of Brazilian Neymar, Messi's former teammate at Paris Saint-Germain, but who is not expected to play, after an operation in November following a rupture of the cruciate ligaments of a knee.
Lionel Messi (36), eight times Ballon d'Or, and Cristiano Ronaldo (38), five times Ballon d'Or, have faced each other directly 37 times in their careers, including 30 times in the Spanish clasico, when the The Argentinian played for Barcelona and the Portuguese for Real Madrid.
