Cristiano Ronaldo will play his first match in Saudi Arabia as part of a national all-star combined XI against Lionel Messi's PSG in a glamour friendly in Riyadh.

The 37-year-old recently signed a deal worth an estimated £173m per year to play for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League but will not make his debut for the club straight away.

Instead, Al Nassr will join forces with their closest title rivals Al-Hilal to form a joint XI to play French giants PSG, who are expected to bring a strong squad – that could contain Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar – to town.

This could be the first meeting between Ronaldo and Messi since the pair met in 2020. Ronaldo scored twice for Juventus in a 3-0 victory over Barcelona that night in the Champions League. There is far less riding on their potential last gambit in the Middle East.
