  • Cristiano Ronaldo had a dream debut in his first outing on Saudi soil
  • The five-time Ballon d'Or winner ignited once the "GOAT" debate
  • He is set to make his competitive debut for new club Al-Nassr on Sunday, January 22 against Al-Etiffaq

Cristiano Ronaldo's dream bow in Saudi Arabia was crowned with an advertising board celebrating him as the GOAT.

Ronaldo had his Al-Nassr debut delayed due to a two-game ban from the English FA but when the Portuguese star finally stepped out, he proved he still has more than enough in his tank.

The 37-year-old bagged a brace for Riyadh XI, a select side from Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal, in their pulsating exhibition game against Paris Saint-Germain.

Ronaldo's two goals were insufficient as the French champions edged his side 5-4 to win the Riyadh Cup staged at the King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh, ESPN reports.

Despite ending up on the losing side, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner scooped home the man of the match award in his first-ever game on Saudi soil, per the Sun.

In one of the wholesome moments of the night, the ex-Real Madrid and Manchester United superstar was accorded the title, GOAT.

The never-ending Ronaldo-Messi GOAT debate was somehow settled in possibly their last clash when Ronaldo's second goal prompted the Advertising board to change to GOAT.

Below is the video of the moment:

Ronaldo meets Messi in GOAT reunion

The much-vaunted exhibition game between Paris Saint-Germain and a select side from Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr has dominated the headlines throughout the week.

The discussion has centred on perhaps the last match-up between Cristiano Ronaldo and his eternal nemesis Lionel Messi.

Despite the rivalry between the pair, both Messi and Ronaldo have nothing but respect for each other, which manifested just before the kick-off.

Sports Brief earlier reported that Cristiano Ronaldo struck again as he pulled off an incredible piece of skill during Riyadh XI's clash against Paris Saint-Germain on Thursday evening.

The 37-year-old produced a moment of pure magic in the first half at the King Fahd International Stadium in Saudi Arabia.

The Portugal icon bamboozled Carlos Soler with some fancy footwork- leaving, the PSG midfielder looking somewhat embarrassed.
