The Riyadh Season Cup, a friendly competition organized by the Saudi company of the same name, ends this Thursday with a match between the two top names in the Saudi Pro League.
Undefeated leader of the Saudi championship, Neymar's Al-Hilal challenges its domestic runner-up, Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr, for the final meeting of this edition at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh.
But the clash between the two stars will not take place since Al-Hilal continues to do without the services of its Brazilian striker, who has been away from the field for many months due to a ruptured cruciate ligament in his knee.
The club where Malcom and Kalidou Koulibaly also play had got the better of Lionel Messi's Inter Miami (4-3) in the previous match, and had the opportunity to go flawless.
This is also the case for Al-Nassr, big winner of Inter Miami (6-0) and who should count on Cristiano Ronaldo returning from a slight glitch in his left calf, already author of 20 goals in 18 Championship matches.
The French central defender, Aymeric Laporte, must start in the center after his crazy lob scored against Messi's team.
The match between Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr is scheduled to kick off at 7 p.m. this Thursday, February 8.
The match will be broadcast live on beIN Sports 3 and DAZN.
