Thursday sees arguably the two greatest footballers ever face off for potentially the final time.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, both icons of the game, will meet during a friendly match in the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh. Ronaldo is set to captain an All-Star XI made up of players from his new club, Al-Nassr, and neighbours Al-Hilal, while Messi is due to turn out for Paris Saint-Germain, who're currently on tour in the Middle East.
What makes the matchup even more intriguing is that it'll serve as Ronaldo's first appearance since making the move to Saudi Arabia, with one VIP ticket even being sold for a whopping £2.2million. The Portuguese megastar recently signed an eye-watering £173m deal with Al-Nassr, but has missed their first two matches since putting pen to paper on a two-and-a-half-year contract due to still being suspended from an incident which occurred during his tumultuous second spell at Manchester United.
