Lionel Messi always has it
Messi does his thing again on the big stage, and it’s just a shame that we couldn’t see Cristiano Ronaldo also participate in this tournament.

There are Saudi clubs in the competition, but Al Nassr has not qualified, so we cannot watch Ronaldo in competition against Messi in a major tournament as we did before.
Messi alone is enough to light any football game, and that could mean that we are about to see something upset here while Inter Miami led Porto 2-1 at the time of the editorial staff.
