Cristiano Ronaldo will make his first appearance since moving to Saudi Arabia in a one-off friendly against Lionel Messi’s Paris Saint-Germain.
The Portugal star arrived at his new club Al-Nassr with a two-game suspension over his head following an incident in Manchester United’s Premier League match against Everton last April.
In turn, he is yet to make his debut for Rudi Garcia’s side, though is free to represent an all-star team in a one-off friendly against PSG.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner will captain a side made of stars from rival clubs Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal. The two teams occupy the top two positions in the Saudi Pro League, with Al-Nassr one point ahead with a game in hand on Al-Hilal.
