Ronaldo makes dream debut

Weeks after the transfer, Ronaldo afforded fans a glimpse of what they can expect after he made his Saudi Arabia debut in the Saudi All-Star XI which played against Paris Saint-Germain at King Fahd International Stadium.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner had a dream debut as he scored a brace in his side's 4-5 defeat against Messi's PSG.

Messi, Marquinhos, Sergio Ramos, Kylian Mbappe, Hugo Ekitike, and Juan Bernat were all on target for the French giants, with Jang Hyun-Soo and Talisca joining Ronaldo on Saudi All-Star XI's scoresheet.

A clearly delighted Georgina took some time to appreciate her partner's efforts in the match as he posted a video of Ronaldo pulling off his iconic 'SIUU' celebration after scoring.

The stunning model shared the video with her more than 45 million Instagram followers.

PSG edge Riyadh XI

Sports Brief earlier reported that Cristiano Ronaldo recovered from a punch in the face to score twice against Paris Saint-Germain on Thursday in a lively reunion with his great rival Lionel Messi that demonstrated the financial firepower of the resource-rich Gulf.

Ronaldo, 37, was decked by PSG's keeper Keylor Navas's flailing fist, but he drilled the resulting penalty and then added another in a 5-4 exhibition defeat, his first appearance since moving to Saudi Arabia in a deal said to total more than 400 million euros.

For Qatar-owned PSG, Messi and Kylian Mbappe both scored, and Neymar missed a penalty before they withdrew on the hour-mark alongside Ronaldo, who was representing a composite Saudi side, to leave the world's four best-paid players watching from the bench in Riyadh.
