Paris Saint-Germain has intensified their preparations for Thursday night's friendly meeting with the Saudi All-Star XI, led by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Back in Qatar for the first time since winning the World Cup, Messi and a host of PSG's top stars once again created a sensation in the capital.

The star-studded contingent touched base with its fans and partners on their arrival, before being treated to the best of local cuisine in Doha.

Subsequently, the club headed to the Khalifa Stadium for an open training session, where fans had the chance to watch their superstars right before their eyes, per the club's website.

During the training session, right-back Achraf Hakimi was handed a dizzying moment by his mates, according to FootSur7.

In a video shared on Twitter, seen by Sports Brief, Sergio Ramos, Messi, Mbappe and Neymar knocked the ball around as Hakimi tried to intercept it in vain.

Realising his inability to rescue the ball from the fast feet of his teammates, the Moroccan surrendered in his mission by falling to the pitch, which drew laughter from his teammates.

The Ligue 1 leaders will come up against a Riyadh XI, made up of players from Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal and led by former Manchester United forward Ronaldo, in a friendly game.
