Fans watching Paris Saint-Germain take on a Saudi Pro-League Riyadh XI all-star team on Thursday have claimed Cristiano Ronaldo’s meeting with Lionel Messi is telling.
The debate over which player is the greatest of all time has rattled on for most of their careers but some believe Messi won that argument once and for all last month when Argentina lifted the World Cup in Qatar.
The tournament was expected to be the last hurrah on the world stage for both the PSG great and former United star, with Ronaldo’s campaign ending in more anti-climatic fashion when Portugal unexpectedly bowed out to Morocco in the quarter-finals, leaving the superstar in tears.
