Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are preparing to exchange rivalries in a friendly match between Paris Saint-Germain, Al-Nasr team and Al-Hilal club.
The friendly match will be held on January 19, 2023, according to Marca newspaper.
It is part of PSG’s mid-season tour of Saudi Arabia in 2022, but it was canceled due to COVID-19, according to RMC Sports.
Ronaldo is set to be revealed as the Al Nasr player for the first time on Tuesday after signing a massive contract that places him as the highest paid player in world football.
Many soccer fans believe that Ronaldo’s departure from European football will mark the end of his longstanding rivalry with Messi.
Messi is set to renew his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, keeping him at the Parc des Princes until 2024.
Although the 35-year-old returns to his club after the World Cup, fans may get the chance to see the two iconic strikers go head to head one last time.
Messi and Ronaldo met on 36 occasions during their football careers.
