Lionel Messi came on late in the match as Inter Miami trailed Al-Nassr 6-0, watched by a Saudi leader who showed six fingers.
Chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Entertainment, Turki Al-Sheikh is delighted to see Cristiano Ronaldo stacking the goals in the Gulf. The royal court advisor made a name for himself Thursday evening during the friendly meeting between Al-Nassr and Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami, which quickly turned into humiliation for the MLS franchise (6-0) .
When Messi entered in the 84th minute of the match (the player being spared for a muscular problem), Turki Al-Sheikh, then filmed, showed six fingers in reference to the score. A treat for fans of “CR7”, a very bad joke for admirers of “La Pulga”, who could recall that the Argentine idol is the record holder for Ballon d’Or with 8 awards.
Without “CR7” in the restart phase, Anderson Talisca scored a nice hat-trick (10th, 51st and 73rd) and, above all, Aymeric Laporte scored with a stunning free kick from 70 meters (12th)! Opposite, Luis Suarez failed to save the honor for the Floridians on his few opportunities in front of the opposing goal.
