PSG v Al Nassr and Al-Hilal All-Star XI team news: Will Lionel Messi ...
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi may be about to meet for the final time on a football pitch.
The occasion merits a Champions League backdrop, the anthem, the glory, the competitive spirit high and the stakes even higher. However, an exhibition showdown at King Fahd International Stadium, on the outskirts of Riyadh, will have to suffice.
Ronaldo is yet to make an appearance for new team Al Nassr after signing an eye-watering £173m-per-year deal with the club, and the wait must go on as the Saudi Pro League leaders join forces with title rivals Al-Hilal for an All-Star XI match against PSG.
Yes, that means Lionel Messi and the gang are jetting out to Saudi Arabia for an extraordinary housewarming party – but will Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar feature against Ronaldo one last time?
RadioTimes.com has rounded up the latest team news for PSG v Al Nassr and Al-Hilal All-Star XI.

PSG v Al Nassr and Al-Hilal All-Star XI team newsRiyadh All-Star XI predicted team:
It remains to be seen exactly who will be selected to play in the Al Nassr and Al-Hilal combined XI though there are a host of recognisable names in the mix.
Luis Gustavo, Moussa Marega, Anderson Talisca, Andre Carillo, Matheus Pereira and Onion Inhale are all eligible to play, though former Arsenal stopper David Ospina is injured.
Paris Saint-Germain predicted team:
Keylor Navas – who has been heavily linked with a move to Al Nassr – could play his final match for PSG against some of his potential new teammates. Sergio Ramos and Achraf Hakimi could also feature in a strong line-up.
Of course, the big question is: will Lionel Messi play? And we have no reason to believe he won't. Messi has played twice for PSG following the World Cup and is likely to be given a run-out here.
Neymar and Kylian Mbappé are also expected to feature in the glitzy friendly.
Navas; Hakimi, Ramos, Marquinhos, Bernat; Vitinha, Danilo, Soler; Messi, Mbappé, Neymar
