Cristiano Ronaldo has been the talk of the town in recent days after his signing for Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nassr was confirmed. With his new team, the ‘Bug’ could have a new and perhaps final confrontation with his biggest rival of the last 15 years: Lionel Messi. This new clash between ‘CR7’ and ‘Flea’ could take place in early 2023 in a clash between PSG and a team that would have some players from the Portuguese’s new homeland and Al-Hilal in its ranks.
According to the information provided by journalist Achraf Ben Ayad from Saudi Arabia, this friendly match would take place next Thursday, January 19, subject to confirmation.
This confrontation between PSG and the rival consisting of players from Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal should have taken place in early 2022 but had to be suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The schedule for this match, which is part of the French team’s Qatar Winter Tour, is also not yet known.

“I’m looking forward to a new experience in another league and in another country. The vision that Al Nassr has is very inspiring,” Cristiano Ronaldo said for Al-Nassr’s communications channels.
On the other hand, the Portuguese earns 200 million euros from the Arab squad in the next two years.
