Saudi Arabian football is set to witness greatness when Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, two of the biggest modern-day football stars, grace the stage at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh as PSG take on a Riyadh All-Stars XI team. Having dominated football for years together in Europe, the two icons of the game are set to renew their rivalry and the latest instalment in their chapter will be in this friendly match. Another showdown between the two stars seemed a distant prospect when Ronaldo switched over to Saudi Arabia after an acrimonious exit from Manchester United following a controversial interview. But the football gods have paved the way for these two former Ballon d'Or champions to face each other once again, although on a very different stage. Will Cristiano Ronaldo Play Tonight in Riyadh All-Stars XI vs PSG, Friendly 2023 Clash? Here’s the Possibility of CR7 Making the Starting XI.

Messi had a memorable time in Qatar in December 2022, leading Argentina to a famous World Cup title with a win over France in a highly-thrilling final. He has had a deserved break after the tournament and has returned to action for PSG, making two appearances. Cristiano Ronaldo, on the other hand, is yet to make his first appearance in Saudi Arabia. Despite being unveiled by Al-Nassr at the start of the year, he was banned from competing due to a two-match ban for knocking down a fan's phone after a Manchester United game back in 2022. With that ban now over, Ronaldo, who has been named captain of the Riyadh All-Stars XI team, which is a combined outfit of Saudi Pro League giants Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal, is set to make his much-awaited debut in Saudi Arabian football.
