Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo is preparing to make his debut with his new team, Al-Nasr Saudi Arabia, in a friendly match against Paris Saint-Germain, led by Argentine star Lionel Messi.
Saint-Germain announced that it will play a friendly match in Riyadh, January 19, against a joint team from Al-Nasr and Al-Hilal.
Ronaldo would have waited until January 22 to play his first match with Al-Nasr, when he met Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi League, but his first appearance could take place three days before that.
Ronaldo had a fierce competition with Messi, during his professional period in Real Madrid, coinciding with Messi’s glow in the ranks of Barcelona.
