A proper shithousery as Al Nassr puts Inter Miami back in their place with a massive 6-0 win

Al Nassr's impressive 6-0 victory over Inter Miami CF stands out as perhaps the most ridiculous episode in the ongoing Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi folktale. Playing without Ronaldo due to injury, Al Nassr demonstrated their superiority over Miami, who opted to start Messi from the bench.

Both Al Nassr and Miami fielded their strongest starting line-ups in a friendly match held at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The home side boasted several renowned European players, including David Ospina, Aymeric Laporte, Alex Telles, and Marcelo Brozovi?.

On the opposing side, the David Beckham-owned club relied on the infamous former Barcelona and 2015 season treble winner Luis Suarez, along with Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. Tata Martino opted to save Messi for the second half due to discomfort the megastar experienced in Miami's latest match.

It was one of the highly anticipated football games heralding the 2024 season, showcasing both Ronaldo and Messi for their respective clubs, despite the eagerly awaited final showdown yet to materialize. However, the outcome of this game undoubtedly surprised football fans globally and was deemed "too much".

The final score was deemed excessive and not ideal for a meeting between two teams represented by football legends of the last two decades, providing insight into the football quality in Saudi Arabia and the United States.

Major League Soccer has garnered attention in recent years due to the emergence of promising young players, marking the best generation for the USA in a long time. Players like Christian Pulisic, Gio Reyna, Timmy Weah, and Sergino Dest have made their mark in European clubs.

However, Miami's latest result sparked skepticism among fans on social media regarding the true quality of the American domestic league. Al Nassr fielded five Saudi-native players, highlighting their squad depth, while Miami had three USMNT players, including Drake Callender, Noah Allen, and Julian Gressel. It's worth noting that Gressel, born in Germany, chose to play for USNMT.

Excluding international players, Saudi Arabia showcased a superior squad depth. Miami, still a relatively young club (founded in 2018), has a long way to go to establish itself as a global football brand. The Al Nassr game may serve as an indicator for Miami to assess its position in the footballing world, setting realistic expectations even with football greats on their side.
