On January 22, 2023, Cristiano Ronaldo will make his official debut with Al Nassr. After receiving a two-game punishment from the Premier League for knocking a fan’s phone out of his hand during a game against Everton last year, the Portuguese forward will be forced to sit out two matches.
Ronaldo will have to wait until January 22 to make his Al Nassr debut, and that match will be against Al Ittifaq at home.
The former Manchester United great has been practising with his new teammates already, but he won’t be able to support them on Saturday when they face Al Shabab.
Another Messi vs. Ronaldo matchup?
However, Ronaldo is allowed to participate in exhibition matches; thus, on January 19, in a match between Paris Saint-Germain and an all-star XI of the country’s leading teams, he might make an appearance. The match between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo might be their final ever.
On Monday, PSG told their fans that the team’s winter tour will take them to Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
They will take part in a variety of sponsored activities in preparation for the friendly in Riyadh.
The Ligue 1 winners are flying all of their players, including Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, and Sergio Ramos, to Doha and Riyadh.
According to the club’s official release, “the team will fly out to Doha on January 17 and then go to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to play against an all-star XI from Saudi Premier League teams Al Hilal and Al Nassr.”
“On January 19, the game will take place at King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh. After the game, the team will take a flight back to Paris.
This visit to Qatar, which comes on the heels of the successful staging of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, presents a fresh chance to highlight the cutting-edge components of the nation’s sporting infrastructure.
Several Paris Saint-Germain tours, including the Qatar Handball Tour in 2014 and 2015, the Qatar Ladies Tour in 2015, and the Qatar Tour in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2022, have been welcomed by Qatar during the past ten years.
There may perhaps be one final match between the two football superstars of the twenty-first century.
After a difficult period with the Red Devils, Ronaldo’s coach Rudi Garcia has made it clear that his goal is to help his player love playing football once more.
Because of what occurred in Manchester for the national team and his personal life in the past few months, Garcia told a French radio station, “I want him to regain the joy of playing and to laugh again.”
