Al Nassr’s China visit has been postponed, and the friendly against Inter Miami may be suspended. All because of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo is injured, and Al Nassr’s China trip has been postponed despite the fact that all tickets have sold out, according to an official statement from the match organizers.

The former Real Madrid player had two previous warm-up games scheduled before the 2024 season began: against Shanghai Shenhua and Zhejiang on January 24 and 28, respectively, but his injury prevented him from doing so. In a statement, CR7 stated that the matches will be postponed owing to “reasons beyond the club’s control”.

However, the Organizing Committee verified the return of all sold tickets and travel fees, and stated that they are negotiating other dates for the individual matches.

I apologize to all Chinese fans. “I know everyone is sad, and so am I,” CR7 remarked during the press conference to announce the news. “As you know, there are things in football that cannot be controlled,” Ronaldo stated, underlining that “China is a second home.”

Is Messi’s duel threatened?

“The Last Dance,” as the teams have dubbed, will be one of the most exciting matches of the year, despite the fact that it is a friendly. This can only be explained by the presence of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Both stars will square off again on February 1 when Inter Miami and Al-Nassr play in Saudi Arabia.

However, given the confirmation of Ronaldo’s injury, this match is likely to be canceled. The absence of CR7 from the pitch for at least two weeks casts doubt on the friendly match.
