Cristiano Ronaldo is set to face his eternal rival, Lionel Messi in his first game with Al Nassr.
According to Al Nassr coach, Rudi Garcia, Ronaldo could make his debut for the club in a friendly match scheduled against Paris Saint-Germain.
Daily Report Nigeria recalls that Ronaldo sat out the first of two domestic games for the Saudi Arabian club on Friday following a suspension handed to him by the English FA.

The Portuguese captain was handed a two game ban for hitting a young Everton fan’s phone after suffering a defeat with Manchester United back at April.
Garcia has now confirmed that the 37-year-old would also miss the club’s next league fixture against Al Shabab.
The Real Madrid legend would now make his debut against Ettifaq on January 22 unless he squares up against Lionel Messi’s PSG in what would be a combined team made up of players from Al Nassr and Al Hilal in Riyadh on January 19.
“It [his debut] won’t be with the Al Nassr jersey. It will be a mix between Al Hilal and Al Nassr.
“For development, to see PSG, to see the great Parisian players, indeed it is a good thing. But we have a championship game three days later,” Garcia told French newspaper L’Equipe.
