VIDEO: Ronaldo shines in the Saudi Arabian league! Ronaldo scores two goals against PSG, Messi also scores

Cristiano Ronaldo was unable to start his Al-Nasser side’s opening league games due to a penalty. His first match in Saudi Arabia was thus played in the jersey of the stars of the two best teams there. And against PSG, he was on a roll.

Cristiano Ronaldo was looking for a new club after his stagnant performances and high wages at Manchester United, but there was not much interest.

However, in the end, Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr came out on top and emerged victorious. Ronaldo signed a lucrative two-year contract and is expected to be an ambassador there afterwards.

He has not yet made his debut in the jersey of his new club, but a friendly match between the stars of Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal has been arranged.

The opponent was PSG, who definitely did not come to play only substitutes. In fact, the star trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé were on the pitch.

Ronaldo was in the role of the opponent and led his team to the match with the captain’s armband. However, his rival Messi was the first to assert himself. In the third minute, he ran onto a beautiful pass and easily beat the goalkeeper Mohammed Al Owais, who we know from the last World Cup.

After half an hour, however, the game was level and Ronaldo was in the lead! He was fouled by goalkeeper Keylor Navas and easily converted the penalty kick. Even though it was a friendly, we could see a red card.

Juan Bernat was sent off for his indiscriminate tackle. In the 43rd minute, however, PSG got Marquinhos back in front and just when it looked like they were going to go into the booths at 1:2, the Portuguese scored again.

He headed into the bar in the sixth minute but then managed to finish and equalise. This moment was preceded by a huge chance for Mbappé and a missed penalty by Neymar.

The game was entertaining in the second half too, Sergio Ramos sent PSG into the lead in the 54th minute, and shortly afterwards it was level again, Jang Hyun-Soo scoring. However, the goals were a mixed bag.

Messi hit the opponent’s hand in the penalty area and Mbappé was on the penalty spot and made no mistake. After an hour of play, the score was 3:4.

Ronaldo was then substituted, as were Mbappé, Neymar and others, but PSG still managed to increase the score. After a counter-attack, Hugo Ekitiké came on as a substitute in the 78th minute.

It looked like the end of the match, but the home team made it even more dramatic. Anderson Talisca adjusted the score to 4:5 after a good shot.
