Messi vs Ronaldo in Riyadh: The Latin Times' Cartelera Futbolera for Jan. 29-Feb. 4.

General views of Al-Nassr FC (Credit: Reuters)

ALABAMA - Just like the old days, soccer fans around the world will have the opportunity to see yet another clash between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, as Inter Miami's preseason tour has taken them to Saudi Arabia. Both superstars faced each other more than 30 times during their stints at the top of European soccer and, while this will be a friendly match, seeing them face to face again will certainly be a nostalgic moment for many.

At the national team level, both the Africa Cup of Nations and AFC Asian Cup start their KO stages this week. The final for the Africa Cup of Nations is scheduled to be played on Feb. 11 while its Asian counterpart will take place on Feb. 10.

In Liga MX, Chivas will try to use the momentum gained by the arrival of Javier 'Chicharito' Hernández to reignite their season. This week, they will have two Liga MX games in which they will look for their first win of the Clausura 2024. It is yet to be confirmed whether 'Chicharito' will take part in any of the games this week as he is still recovering from a knee injury sustained last year.
