The “Duel of the Giants” exhibition match between Neymar and Lionel Messi is an exciting prospect for football fans. Scheduled for July 2 in Lima, Peru, as part of the fiftieth anniversary celebrations of RPP Noticias, a Peruvian radio group, the match will bring together several top players from Barcelona and beyond.
The organizers have announced the participation of major players such as Kun Agüero, Javier Mascherano, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, Eric Abidal, Robinho, Edison Cavani, and David Luiz. The teams will be coached by Fabio Capello, the coach of Russia, and Brazilian technician Zico, the coach of Ukraine.
This exhibition match provides Neymar with an opportunity to face Lionel Messi and potentially seek revenge for the humiliating defeat Santos suffered against Messi’s Barcelona during the Club World Cup final in 2011. Messi’s influence extended to international friendlies, where he scored a double for Argentina against Brazil in New York.
The “Duel of the Giants” promises to be an entertaining encounter, showcasing the skills of some of the world’s top football talents and allowing fans to witness the friendly rivalry between Neymar and Messi on the pitch.
