Lionel Messi and Inter Miami started their tour of Saudi Arabia on a challenging note, losing 4-3 to Al-Hilal in a thrilling match. The Major League Soccer team had hoped for a victorious start to their preseason preparations, but Al-Hilal's strong performance dashed their hopes, despite Messi's presence on the field.
The Argentine superstar managed to leave his mark on the game, slotting home a penalty in the second half to get his name on the score sheet. However, it was Malcom's late goal in the 88th minute that sealed the victory for Al-Hilal, leaving Inter Miami disappointed.
