Ronaldo Scores Twice Despite Early Collision with PSG Keeper
Cristiano Ronaldo made a remarkable debut in Saudi Arabian football, scoring twice for his Riyadh All-Star side in a thrilling 5-4 defeat to Lionel Messi's Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
The gala match, which featured a selection of the best players from Saudi clubs Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr, was an eagerly anticipated clash between two football legends.
Messi had already given PSG an early lead when Ronaldo was involved in a controversial incident. PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas flattened the Portuguese forward in a collision that resembled a boxing match.
Despite the setback, Ronaldo showed his class by scoring two goals, including a stunning free kick. However, PSG ultimately emerged victorious, with Messi and Kylian Mbappé also finding the back of the net.
