Cristiano Ronaldo is set to make his eagerly-anticipated Saudi debut in the coming days - and it looks to be a 'last dance' with Lionel Messi in a battle of football's most revered players with Paris Saint-Germain set to travel to the Middle East.
A meeting between the pair was touted throughout the World Cup before Portugal's surprise defeat to Morocco in the quarter-finals halted any chance of a potential final showdown between them.
Of course, not many would have predicted Ronaldo to be in the position he is currently in at the start of the season. Having begun the campaign at Manchester United, the Portugal forward produced arguably the worst form of his career, and once his interview with Piers Morgan was released containing about his reservations over manager Erik ten Hag, the Glazer family and the lack of progression made over the last decade, his contract was terminated.
