Ronaldo, Messi score as PSG beat Riyadh all-star in 9-goal thrillerCristiano Ronaldo scored twice while Messi netted once as Paris Saint-Germain saw off a Riyadh All-Star XI 5-4 in an exhibition match played at the King Fahd stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Thursday.
A capacity crowd was on hand to see the two players who have held sway at the top of football for over a decade, with luminary figures including Amitabh Bachchan, the Bollywood legend, also in attendance. Marquinhos’ smart finish regained the lead for PSG after they had gone down to ten men following Juan Bernat’s dismissal for scything down Salem Al Dawsari who was through on goal.Neymar missed an embarrassingly poor penalty to widen PSG’s lead as Ronaldo punished the wasted opportunity with a shot off his header that hit the post for a 2-2 scoreline at the interval.
Ramos poked into the net on 53 minutes following excellent work from Mbappe before Hyeon Soo jang’s flicked header from a corner kick on 56 minutes restored parity at 3-3.
