Blockbuster! Ronaldo vs Messi scheduled for January showdown

Former Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo is in line to make his Saudi Arabian debut against Lionel Messi and PSG.

PSG will be in Riyadh this month for a friendly against a combined Al Nassr and Al Hilal team.

And the match sets up the prospect of Ronaldo featuring for the combine against Messi.

In the coming week, Al Nassr will play three times in the Saudi Pro League. When Ronaldo will make his first appearance is not yet certain.

Paris Saint-Germain will visit Saudi Arabia on January 19. They will play an exhibition match against a combined team of Al Nassr and Al Hilal.

And in all likelihood, Ronaldo will feature and come face to face with world champion Messi on the night.
