Cristiano Ronaldo, a football player, will lead a Saudi All-Star XI squad against PSG in their friendly encounter on January 19.
Ronaldo will captain his team, which will include players from Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal, in the match. Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr last month in an agreement that would pay him £175 million annually.
Just a few days remain till Ronaldo makes his Saudi Arabia debut after receiving the captain's armband.
With PSG presently touring the Middle East, he will face longtime adversary Lionel Messi in his first game.
The two players, who have combined to win the Ballon d'Or 12 times, maybe facing off in this game for the last time.
While living in Spain together, Ronaldo and Messi participated in multiple El Clasicos for Real Madrid and Barcelona, respectively, and developed a fierce rivalry. Ronaldo moved to Juventus from Spain in 2018, and he hasn't faced off against Messi since the Italian powerhouses visited the Nou Camp in December 2020.
