Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr face Lionel Messi's Inter Miami in the Riyadh Season Cup in Saudi Arabia on Thursday.
It was set to be the first time the two players have faced off since leaving Europe in what has been dubbed the final meeting between the two finest footballers of a generation, but an injury looks set to rule Ronaldo out of proceedings.
In a thrilling encounter, Al Hilal eventually came out 4-3 winners thanks to a late winner from Malcom, to give them the upper hand in this mid-season friendly tournament.
The two Saudi clubs will face off on February 8, which could prove to be a winner-takes-all clash depending on the result here.
Al-Nassr are currently trailing Al Hilal by seven points in the Saudi Pro League title race, with football currently on hold for a winter break.
That is despite finishing 2023 in fine form with five straight wins, where Luis Castro's side scored 21 goals.
