Footage of Kylian Mbappe ‘checking Cristiano Ronaldo is human’ goes viral
Cristiano Ronaldo made his first start since moving to Saudi Arabia
Footage of Kylian Mbappe appearing to check if Cristiano Ronaldo is human has gone viral after Paris Saint Germain’s friendly against the Riyadh XI.
Ronaldo made his first start since making his big-money move to the Middle East earlier in the month.
He was named captain of the Riyadh XI as they took on PSG, who started Ronaldo’s long-time rival Lionel Messi.
Messi put his side in front inside three minutes with a clever finish after a brilliant pass by Brazil star Neymar.

Ronaldo then scored his first goal since being unveiled as Al Nassr’s latest signing as he slotted home a penalty that he won.
PSG went back ahead courtesy of captain Marquinhos but Ronaldo popped up again to make it 2-2 just before half-time.
The second half of the contest was frantic as the match eventually ended with a 5-4 PSG win.
Footage has now emerged showing PSG star Kylian Mbappe ‘checking if Ronaldo is human’.
The France superstar was captured having some friendly words with Ronaldo who was pointing to a bruise he got from an earlier incident during the game.
Mbappe then walked over and examined Ronaldo’s face with his hand, which has led to fans thinking Mbappe was simply checking if Ronaldo is human.
One fan said: “Mbappe just checking to see if Ronaldo is human or not.”
Another tweeted: “Mini GOAT checking up on his rival. You love to see it.”
A third added: “Mbappe checking if Ronaldo is really a Human.”
On the back of the thrilling friendly match, PSG will next play Pays de Cassel in the round of 32 in the French Cup before taking on Reims in Ligue 1.
