The last game

Thursday night was goat’s in the pitch, a match between a Riyadh Season Team featuring Ronaldo, newly signed up to the Saudi Pro League, and Messi’s Paris Saint-Germain. Even though it wasn’t quite Real Madrid against Barcelona or Portugal vs. Argentina. The two old rivals did what they’ve done so many times before. They scored goals. In the end, Messi got one and Ronaldo two in a game that ended 5-4 to PSG, with both players substituted off after an hour. For Messi, it was a continuation of the form he showed in leading Argentina to success at the World Cup just a month ago. For Ronaldo, whose last game ended in tears as Portugal were knocked out by Morocco in the quarterfinals. Switching from Manchester United to Al- Nassr, he should get plenty of chances to redeem himself, and Al Nassr, his new club, will be expecting it after shelling out $200 million a year for his service. Nevertheless, many will miss the best soccer players in the world playing in the same game.
