Messi vs Ronaldo: Football fans will once again be on the edge of their seats as two legendary players – Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo – face off in a friendly match in Saudi Arabia today, January 19.
Lionel Messi will play for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), while Cristiano Ronaldo will feature in the 'Saudi All Star XI' - featuring players from Saudi clubs Al-Nassr FC and Al-Hilal.
Ronaldo is likely to make his debut for Al-Nassr FC in this match. He signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Al-Nassr last month but has not had a chance to play for them due to a two-match ban from the English FA for knocking a phone out of a fan's hand in April.
The game will also feature other key players such as Kylian Mbappe, Sergio Ramos and Neymar for PSG and Salem Al-Dawsari and Saud Abdulhamid for the Saudi Arabian club combination.
