Ronaldo, Messi, Both on the scoresheet as PSG win 5-4

Al Nassr-Al Hilal Saudi All-Star XI versus PSG Highlights: In his first game back in Saudi Arabia since joining Al Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice. The Saudi All Star XI played Paris Saint-Germain in a friendly match in Riyadh under the direction of the Portuguese international. The European powerhouses prevailed 5-4, with goals from Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi, who has long been Ronaldo’s adversary.

The contest was an exciting prospect for the first hour, and it was a significant occasion for Saudi Arabia. In the first minutes, Messi scored, and Ronaldo later won a penalty to tie the score. Prior to PSG seizing control in the second half thanks to a Kylian Mbappe penalty, the Portuguese would tie the score once again to cancel out Marquinhos’ strike.

With two goals against his former rival, Ronaldo made a memorable start and appears to be on track for a successful Al Nassr career once he makes his Saudi Pro League debut on Sunday against Ettifaq.

Messi, meantime, will travel back to France with the rest of the club and attempt to play in the French Cup match against Pays de Cassel on Monday.
