New Delhi: Cristiano Ronaldo is set to play his debut match for his new club Al Nassr and there could be no better game to do it than playing it against Lionel Messi’s club Paris Saint Germain (PSG). PSG is ready to play a highly anticipated friendly match with a combined XI from Al Nassr and Al Hilal. Fans are eager for what could be the final-ever clash between the two stalwarts of football.
Ronaldo and Messi did not get to play against each other at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar as Portugal was eliminated early. While Ronaldo’s change of club and shift to Saudi Arabia looked like they both would not be meeting on the field again, this friendly game has brought in the excitement again. According to reports, Ronaldo might captain his side in the game.
