On Wednesday, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi also argued, far from the old continent, a semi-final of their Champions League. It turned into a fiasco. Al-Nassr was beaten in Saudi Arabia by front Kawasaki in the semi-finals (in a single match) of the Asian champions.

In the other semi-final, Al-Ahli defeated Al-Hilal (3-1) and the formation in which Edouard Mendy, Riyad Mahrez, Roberto Firmino and Ivan Toney will face the frontal kawasaki in the final, on May 3 in Djeddah (at King Abdullah Sports City, the stadium of Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad).

The Inter Miami of Messi was also released in the semi-finals, this time from the Champions Cup of the Concacaf (the Confederation of North America, Central America and the Caribbean). The Floridian club lost to Vancouver in the first leg last week on the score of 2–0, and if the men of Javier Mascherano opened the scoring during the second round by Jordi Alba, shifted by Luis Suarez (9th), they lost 3-1 on their field.

Lionel Messi, new disappointment

The defense of the Miameans has taken the water. Brian White (51st) and Pedro quickly (53rd) took the opportunity to overthrow the situation and Sebastian Berhalter (71st) scored the third Canadian goal at Oscar Ustari, completely overwhelmed (in addition to being at the end of their careers at 38 years). To the chagrin of Leo Messi, who had not been able to do nothing last year during the elimination of the David Beckham franchise in the quarterfinals. Since arriving in MLS, the golden ball record holder has not yet won the MLS or the continental cup.

In the other semi-final of the Champions Cup, 100% Mexican, the Tigers and Cruz Azul neutralized (1-1) in the first leg before a second confrontation this May 1. André-Pierre Gignac is in convalescent phase. Wounded at an Achilles tendon at the end of January, the former French international, 39, resumed on February 26 but relapsed.
