After wait of 2 long years, fans will be able to witness Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi collide against each other probably for the last time. No one saw this coming especially after Ronaldo’s infamous exit from European football. His contract with Manchester United was terminated after his comments about the club.
๐๏ธ Piers Morgan "If it was just about money, you'd be in Saudi Arabia earning this king's ransom, but that's not what motivates you. You want to stay at the top."

The 37-year-old could not make his much awaited Al-Nassr debut as he was serving a 3-match ban from the FA due to his actions after losing a Premier League game against Everton. But he has served his ban and now he will get back to playing ways and his debut opponents could not have been any better.
He will take on a PSG side which consists of Superstars like Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos among others. Messi and Mbappe are coming in hot after a wonderful World cup campaign a month ago. Both of them squared off at the WC final at the Lusail Stadium where Messi’s Argentina came out as World Champions for the 3rd time.
His upcoming meeting with Ronaldo will be blockbuster and both the legends of the game will hope for ending up on the score sheet. Leo Messi recently gripped the upper hand in the GOAT debate after winning the World cup while Ronaldo had a year to forget.

After parting ways with Man United, Ronaldo joined Saudi Outfit Al-Nassr on a 2.5-year contract worth over USD 75 Million Dollars. His multi-million move was criticized heavily but for someone who has broken so many goal scoring records, it doesn’t affect too much.
