In much anticipated Al Nassr vs Inter Miami, Aymeric Laporte showcased his remarkable skills by scoring a sensational free-kick from an astonishing 70 meters against Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami that left Cristiano Ronaldo jumping off his seat. This unexpected highlight added an extra layer of excitement to a game that concluded with Al-Nassr securing a surprising 6-0 victory over Inter Miami.
The much-anticipated football showdown witnessed Messi making a late substitute appearance, while Ronaldo, nursing a calf injury, could only watch from the stands. Pre-game confusion ensued when Miami initially excluded Messi from the squad on social media, but the lineup was later corrected, placing him on the bench. The Riyadh crowd eagerly awaited Messi’s entry, but by the 83rd minute, Al-Nassr had already established a dominant lead, with Anderson Talisca securing a hat trick.
Despite the absence of the football superstars, Laporte provided a moment to savor in the 12th minute with his exceptional free-kick. The Spain international, seizing the opportunity from a free-kick earned in their half, delivered a precise strike that caught Inter Miami’s goalkeeper, Drake Callender, off guard.
While Ronaldo couldn’t actively contribute on the field, his passionate support from the stands became evident, especially during Laporte’s remarkable goal. Ronaldo, seated alongside former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, enthusiastically celebrated Laporte’s screamer.
