Both teams played great. The two teams scored a total of 9 goals in yesterday's match. PSG missed a lot of chances. I thought Messi would easily win this match with Neymar and Mbappe. But this match was not easy for PSG to win. In the PSG star fair, Ronaldo alone proved his worth by leading the team. But one thing that keeps coming to my mind is that if another player like Messi or Mbappe had been in Ronaldo's team PSG would have been defeated for sure.

This matched lived up to its expecting because there was a lot of excitement. It was an ordinary friendlies because it was expensive and featured some the best players in the world. Ronaldo proved that he is still priceless. He might have lost his pace and strength but he is one of the best football showman. The smiles and the huge between Ronaldo and Messi has showed that sports is a game of friendship.

I am really thrilled by Ronaldo's disposition and character in Saudi Arabia. He takes the league serious and  seems to be working hard to improve his performance. His behavior might attract more players because he is showing that the Saudi League is okay. Each time he gets a goal, he celebrates it like he has scored in Manchester United or Juventus. The sole difference between Ronaldo and Messi is that Ronaldo have the courage to play anywhere. The Korean Jang Hyun-soo also had an excellent game, he was solid in the defense all through the match, he might become a target of some top teams in Europe.

Saudi League organiser should understand that the rave and attraction that Ronaldo commands would gradually die down. I don't think it would last for one year because people would gradually get used to Ronaldo. They should device more means of making the league attractive and profitable. Qatar would not recover what they invested in the world cup if they only depend on the world cup publicity.

Yes 68000 maybe the capacity of the stadium but the total ticket orders for this match reached 2 million so many of them did not get tickets
If I'm not mistaken, the total audience on TV reached 3 million I can't imagine how much the total income is in just one match 

This is a huge milestone for Saudi Arabia and this league ad the level of popularity they are getting now and the level of revenues they are generating is huge and is nothing infront of the price they paid to Ronaldo for playing for them. This is just the start and Saudi Pro league  will achieve many milestones in future as a result of this investment.

Ronaldo vs Messi is a the most entertaining thing for foot ball fans all over the world.

That is a big value, it is appropriate for PSG to play with their full squad so that yesterday's match became very interesting, a duel titled Riyadh Season Cup 2023 became a stage of performance between two superstars as well as modern soccer icons, namely Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. This friendly match brought Paris Saint-Germain and Riyadh All Stars inhabited by a combination of players from Al Hilal and Al Nassr from the Saudi Arabian League. The match was won by PSG with a score of 5-4 over Riyadh All Stars. Ronaldo and Messi really gave a great show

It seems that the Arab businessmen and those involved in the Saudi Arabian League understand how to make a profit after having to spend a lot of money to bring Ronaldo in their league, it is possible that later they will also hold matches like this to continue to earn a lot of money, I more often than not miss matches like this do not like it because the game will be very calm and the tempo is moderate or even slow.

There were 68,000 tickets available for this match at the King Fahd International Stadium. One businessman (Mushref al Ghamdi) purchased a "VIP" ticket for $2.6 million, but most of the other categories were sold at affordable rates. According to the French media outlet L’Equipe,  Paris Saint-Germain will earn around  €10,000,000 from this friendly match. In addition to the gate collection, both the teams would have earned a significant amount from the TV rights holder as well (the match was telecasted on beIN SPORTS).

Regarding the club's income, do you know how much their total income from this match? I heard at least 2 million tickets were booked
and the most expensive ticket price is more than $1 million I can't confirm this news but some popular media in my country are reporting it
I believe this record happened because of Ronaldo and Messi and imagine if both of them played in this league.

Given all the barrage of criticism that Ronaldo had to endure, Messi will be more cautious. Al Hilal's offer is really good and Messi would at least fancy playing in the SPL a few times. And the players do deserve these sort of payments. Legends such as Messi and Ronaldo brings in billions of USD in revenue for their respective clubs and they get only a fraction of that in return. So it is perfectly justifiable if they move to some of the non-European clubs, where the salary is higher. I won't be surprised if Messi makes is move, but won't rule out the possibility.

Yes we are satisfied to see this match a total of 9 goals scored and each star takes part of the goal Ronaldo , Messi and Mbappe
Is this a sign that Messi will follow Ronaldo to the Saudi League? usually players entering retirement will move to clubs outside Europe before retiring 

Cr7 is a light that when it beam on you everyone will gaze attention. See how he Cr7 has brought some liveliness into the saudi pro league with increase viewers all over the world. Cr7 is a great player and can't be outshined no matter where he finds himself, his abilities as a G.O.A.T would always be evidential and tonight he has added more prove to it on by his performance on his debut.

In fact, football is already very popular in Asia, but if we talk about quality, it may be far from other leagues, especially in Europe. Hence leagues in Asia are usually not as famous as those in Europe. And because of that, the friendly match between PSG and An Nasr was a very striking match that caught the attention of many people, especially people in Asia. At least, this is one of the impacts of soccer today. Ronaldo and Messi are still always in the spotlight in the world of football. And the work of both is always awaited everywhere.


Hopefully, it will not be as easy as it is. As we know, Bundesliga has Bayern Munich which is also very popular in the world, but Bundesliga still cannot be as popular as Premier League.

Ronaldo has a big motivation, he also gets full support from other players. So, it is not surprising that Ronaldo can perform well. He also still has quality as a top striker, too. If he can get good assists from other players, surely he can make scores.

Yep, Messi and Ronaldo look very comfortable playing in this match. They know that they should give their best performance to entertain people. Very lucky that we can see again Ronaldo vs Messi in this match. We don't know when we can see again Ronaldo vs Messi.

Btw, that's the goal Ramos gave to Ronaldo lol.
But indeed this might be something rare because we can see them playing again on the same field and maybe something like that won't happen again in the future.
The match was quite interesting even though it was a friendly match and regardless I am quite happy with this match.

Having some sort of "payment" to meet Messi and Ronaldo is insane, I mean not that any of these players need this type of money, but to be sent from rich person to rich person like they are some zoo animal is degrading and they are doing that anyway, it's their own mistake.

I feel like this much money comes with "responsibilities" that you have to follow and that's not going to be so honouring obviously, it will be degrading mostly. In any case, Ronaldo playing against PSG feels like there is going to be some players missing. PSG should avoid bringing Mbappe at least, no need to risk him, if the request is mainly for Messi, let him be the only big name.

The quality is beyond comparison but that second goal from Cristiano Ronaldo shouldn't have gone in if PSG defense had done a better job. The rebound wasn't expected but Cristiano Ronaldo does what he does best at all times which is scoring goals.

It's such a great view to see Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo facing themselves once again, we also saw Cristiano Ronaldo with his old team mate Sergio Ramos, warning him about wearing ear rings.
Some good and unforgettable experience, Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappe having fun on the pitch, right before the games kicked off.

It was well worth it to pay such a high price for the game. They have an important league going on, but they still sent their most important players to play in the friendly match. The money involved may have persuaded management to accept the friendly invitation. But, to me, this was worth more than the money because the Saudi Arabia league has gained more interest and viewership since Ronaldo's arrival. This match, I believe, has something to do with the league's growing popularity. In the end, it was an interesting game because both teams fought fiercely until the end. I must say that both teams performed marvellously.

I honestly didn't expect the match to have this level of excitment, as well as the number of events that is rarely to happen in one match, also, no one expected a send-off in a friendly match.
I tried to find an explanation for PSG performance today,  and found that PSG will get nearly $10M for this match. That why I think they were required to play seriously and engage all the stars they have in the team.

Seriously Ronaldo really performed well in today's match, I was expecting PSG to win Al Nasser, actually PSG won but it was a interesting match and the goal margin is kind of close, most people that think Ronaldo is old and can't really perform well again, but he just showed everyone that he is still strong, PSG won the match, but the two clubs performed well and am sure both messi and Ronaldo enjoyed the match.

True. Because of Cristiano Ronaldo, this Saudi league is now known all over the world. Today's match was an enjoyable match. It is safe to say that Saudi League viewership increased further after this friendly match. Because I myself have seen this match for the first time maybe it will make me interested to watch this league match in the coming days if only for Cristiano Ronaldo.
