It was a busy weekend in Saudi Arabia as stars from different industries thronged the Middle Eastern country to watch the heavyweight bout between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou.

Ronaldo Nazario and Luis Figo were in attendance, but before the fight, they got to visit the facilities of Saudi Pro League giants Al-Nassr. The Brazil icon pictured an attacking line-up of himself, Figo, and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo Nazario is considered a top 10 footballer of all time and arguably the best striker in football history. He led Brazil to the 2002 World Cup and produced moments of magic in his club career. However, injuries denied him longevity.

Figo, just like the Brazilian legend, is one of the best players in football history. The two played together at Real Madrid in the early 2000s.

Moreover, Figo played alongside Cristiano Ronaldo in the Portugal national team.

Ronaldo, Figo, Cristiano in the same team?

Nazario and Figo were shown around the Al-Nassr facilities, including the dressing room. After that, they took pictures with their customized Al-Nassr home and away jerseys.

Shortly after, Ronaldo Nazario said, "Imagine Cristiano, Ronaldo, and Figo? What a strike?"

A front three of Ronaldo, Cristiano, and Figo at their peak would have been world-class. All three have won at least one Ballon d'Or award.

The Al-Nassr striker is still going strong at 38, has scored nearly 900 career goals, and won many trophies for club and country. Here's how their club stats compare, per Transfermarkt.

Sports Brief earlier reported on Ronaldo meeting Ronaldo at the Fury vs. Ngannou bout in Saudi Arabia.

Ronaldo Nazario was ringside as the Al-Nassr striker arrived at the venue with his partner Georgina Rodriguez. The two warmly embraced before Cristiano walked away.

Both got to enjoy an entertaining 10-round boxing fight, which Fury controversially won.
