As we move just hours away from this international friendly, let’s analyze the generational clash between Ansu Fati and Ronaldo. 

Ansu Fati and Cristiano Ronaldo will meet on a football pitch for the first time ever, it will be a generational clash for the ages. We are talking about the most exciting up and comer this season against one of the best footballers in history. It will be an international friendly between Portugal and Spain that is set to take place at Jose Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon.

This is a preparation match between both sides ahead of their upcoming UEFA Nations League games. Ansu Fati’s Spain is set to face Switzerland and Ukraine. Meanwhile, Ronaldo’s Portugal has way more difficult opponents in France and Sweden. This game between both sides from Iberia will come as a perfect way to test their strengths.

We are completely convinced that both of these teams have two of the most competitive forwards in the world right now. However, Ronaldo might be passing the baton in a generational clash that has everybody in Spain excited. 

Ronaldo also meets Sergio Ramos. 

Even though the main attraction will be Ronaldo against Ansu Fati for both sides, Cristiano also meets one of his former teammates. The Real Madrid contingent won’t be at full capacity this time around. Only Sergio Ramos remains from the many Los Blancos players that used to be part of the squad.

Dani Carvajal is currently injured and Isco Alarcon didn’t receive a call-up. There’s a rumor that CR7 is not on speaking terms with Ramos after Modric won his Ballon d’Or trophy, but we’ll see what happens. We are more excited about what Ansu Fati can do in front of a football legend like Cristiano Ronaldo.

These are the perfect moments for young talents to prove themselves in front of the world. We are ready for the first of hopefully many confrontations between these two over the next year. Keep in mind that we might also watch them play in the Champions League twice when Juventus play Barcelona.
