Riyadh: Cristiano Ronaldo will take the field in Riyadh against PSG, which includes Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe, but it will not be in an Al Nasr club jersey. International media reported that the joint team of Al Hilal and Al Nasr will be in the jersey instead, quoting Al Nasr’s French coach Rudy Garcia.
The French club PSG and Al Nasr-Al Hilal combined team will meet in the football match at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh for the Riyadh Season Cup on the 19th of this month at 8 pm. This will be Ronaldo’s debut match in Saudi after being a part of Al Nasr. Messi and Mbappe are coming to play for PSG.
The first reports were that Ronaldo will not be in this game. The reason for this was that he faced a suspension following a problem with a fan in the last Premier League. The former Manchester United star was banned for two matches by the Football Association of England. The coach stated that Al-Nasr Club respects this decision and therefore Ronaldo will not be fielded in the Saudi Pro League match against Al-Shabab Club on the 14th of this month in Riyadh. That will limit the ban.
He further explained that Ronaldo will play in the match on the 19th, but it will not be in the Al Nasr jersey, but instead in the joint team jersey of the Al Hilal club. Football lovers are eagerly waiting for this super match. Ticket sales for this game started on Sunday evening and sold out in no time.
