Riyadh XI Vs PSG : Watch Twitter react to Lionel Messi glancing at Cristiano Ronaldo

Last night at the King Fahd Stadium, Saudi Arabia, an old rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi was renewed after a wait of 2 years. The anticipation of this match was extremely high because both the teams were star-studded and it was most probably the last meeting between CR7 and LM10.

It was a goal fest in front of a sold out King Fahd Stadium with 68,000 fans inside. Both the GOATs got into the score sheet within the first half. But Lionel Messi landed the first blow within 3 minutes into the match. However, Ronaldo equalized through a penalty followed by another goal in 45+6.

The ending score-line was 5-4 in favor of Paris Saint Germain. Lionel Messi, Marquinhos, Sergio Ramos, Kylian Mbappe and Hugo Ekitike all scored for PSG. Riyadh XI on the other hand had goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, Jang Hyun-Soo and Talisca.

But before the 9 goals were scored, there was a moment that probably every football fan waited for. It was that link-up between Messi & Ronaldo, just seconds before Kick-off which made all the news.
