Following Thursday’s friendly match between Paris Saint-Germain and the Saudi Arabian All-Stars, Cristiano Ronaldo sent Lionel Messi a message.
Ronaldo wrote, “old friends,” along with a picture of himself hugging Lionel Messi.
Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal players made up the Saudi Arabia All-Stars. And both Messi and Ronaldo scored in the 9-goal thriller.
The match ended 5-4 and it was Messi who came out on top in an end-to-end, entertaining game.
Ronaldo scored two late first-half goals after Messi opened the scoring in the third minute.
After the game, the 37-year-old tweeted: “So happy to be back on the pitch, and on the score sheet!! And nice to see some old friends!”
The friendly was Ronaldo’s debut in Saudi football since signing for Al-Nassr.
