Paris Saint-Germain and the Riyadh All-Stars put on a magnificent show on Thursday as Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos and Kylian Mbappé all found the back of the net in PSG's 5-4 victory. The stars showed out and one Ronaldo nutmeg vs PSG received enormous applause from the fans inside King Fahad International Stadium.

Ronaldo scored twice in his first game playing for a team in Saudi Arabia and the showman dazzled audiences with the tricks, flicks, celebrations and more. In the 11th minute his side was trailing 1-0 and he embarrassed PSG’s Carlos Soler with a brilliant nutmeg.

Ronaldo Nutmeg vs PSG

CR7 looked pretty damn good for a man who hadn’t played a game since Dec. 10.

He would earn the Riyadh All-Stars a penalty after Keylor Navas failed to punch the ball clear and instead caught Ronaldo’s face.

There was only ever one outcome with Ronaldo stepping up to the spot.

Ronaldo’s second goal came right before halftime when his flicked header hit off the post and he fired in the rebound.

Ronaldo is going to do just fine in Saudi Arabia with Al Nassr.

The superstars were substituted out around the 60-minute mark in what was a wildly entertaining hour of soccer.

Here were the rest of the goals scored during the friendly.

PSG returns to France for a match in the French Cup vs. Pays de Cassel on Monday. After that the Parisian club needs to defend its slim three-point lead over Lens in Ligue 1.

Ronaldo and Al Nassr will be back in action on Sunday in the Saudi Pro League for a game against Ettifaq.

This may have been the final meeting between Ronaldo and Messi. Thank you for the all memories you two GOATs.
