A 10-man Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) beat a Riyadh XI 5-4 but it was Cristiano Ronaldo who stole the show with his first-half brace for the Saudi all-star side. Ronaldo, who will make his Saudi Pro League debut for Al Nassr on Sunday after signing a potentially USD 200 million deal, captained the Saudi season squad, which includes players from his new club Al-Nassr and local rivals Al Nassr. Hilal was involved against a star-studded PSG side. Ronaldo scored twice in the first half to cancel out attacks from Lionel Messi and Marquinhos.
The Portuguese star won the player of the match award for his sensational performance and was highly praised even though his team lost.
India’s star batsman impressed by Ronaldo’s show despite the player being 38 Virat Kohli took a dig at the critics of the football star.
Kohli uploaded Ronaldo’s picture on his Instagram story and wrote: “Still doing at the highest level at 38. Football experts sit and criticize him every week for attention, now conveniently silent Because he has performed like this against any one.” Top Clubs of the World. And that was clearly over.”
Ronaldo recently signed for Al-Nasr after his contract with Manchester United was abruptly terminated following the player’s controversial interview.
Talking about Virat Kohli, the player is a part of India’s ODI squad for the ongoing three-match series against New Zealand. India lead the series 1-0 after winning the first game by 12 runs.
