PSG vs Riyadh All-Star XI | RIYADH SEASON CUP 2023 HIGHLIGHTS | 1/19/2023 | beIN SPORTS USA

Cristiano Ronaldo has never been one to shy away from the spotlight. To be honest, the spotlight has always found a way to find these two men. With the goats on display, the legends writing one last chapter. These all-stars for Riyadh have something to prove here today, Thomas. They certainly do, Phil. First shot of the... It's Lionel Messi. That's the way this game is supposed to go. And that trident, Phil. Although it was simplicity by Mbappé. Out wide, stretching that back four. Touched the ball, allowing Neymar to... Messi, this time Frank's depth in this game. Neymar with the brilliant pass. The trident, off and running. There you see Mbappé stretching a back four. Neymar gets close to Messi. Just the recognition of space and the timing of Neymar's ball. And the finish of Messi. Exquisite. A little bend away from the goalkeeper and center back. Absolutely brilliant. And what a start for PSG. And just what Dolce ordered. Messi from Luis Gustavo. Many have tried, many have failed. And a sprawling save by his former Madrid teammate, Keylor Navas. Denies the equalizer. Nice interchase there at midfield, Phil. And that's Ronaldo, as of old, being able to get on the end. Chase. Vamos over. The two center backs dueling. Korean comes away with it with a nice little flick. Luis Gustavo keeps it alive. Ronaldo, the shot from the Brazilian. Diving save, Navas. Messi dropping deep. Classic, vintage Hakimi right here. Hakimi sneaks it to the back post. Pops on Neymar. Tries to sneak it through. Veteran fullback, always great in the overlap going forward. Chance through. Flag down. Mbappé bursting around the keeper to slot it home. There is VAR. But the flag comes up late anyway. Was it offside? Brilliant first touch of Messi. Allows him to buy space. And from vantage point, Phil, that's 100% offside as well. Ronaldo against Hakimi. Makes the run and a hit with Keylor Navas. Ball sends through. It looks like they've called a penalty against the PSG keeper. But they've both come up with a daze. Is it a foul in the first place? And if so, Thomas, who's the instigator here? Well, first, P.J. Martinez's ball is absolutely brilliant. Between 12 and 6, and there you see Ronaldo. Eyes on the ball. And yes, that is a penalty because Navas does not get anything gets Ronaldo's head with some force. Both fist and elbow come through. Navas doesn't particularly care for that. But it is a penalty. Continue to play after this. There's the fist. 4-hour. Navas making no call whatsoever. Plays the player. That's a 100%. But they're checking for it. 12 steps away. Ronaldo. High pressure of the Portuguese international. And his rest and pressure. He finishes that with strength and power. Precision. No chance for Keylor Navas. Shoelaces half inside of the shoe. Which means that he's choosing direction over power. But if Navas won one, Messi and Ronaldo on the score sheet. Messi near post. Deciding to put out a fire. Gasoline. I just talked about the second phase of tech apiece. He's done such a good job, Phil. Outside the 80-yard box. This time a poor touch by Hakimi. The Saudi All-Star team to get away. Yes, Bernard. That shows you that this is not just a friendly and All-Star game. Bernard Wright in there with a cynical foul. VT brought down first. But the ball goes to Salem Eldosari. The ex-V&A owl man. So maybe a little with each other. But lost the law, Phil. Messi. PSG making about $10 million if you believe some of the reports for this friendly here today. He'll balance the books a bit. Inside. Short-handed. And the score. Hideo celebrates. But did he get a touch? He did distract Elo Ais. And PSG's back in front. Again, short corners. Keep possession. When they're big boys are forward. Both Ramos and Marquinhos starting positions are in the eights. Touch of upside maybe for Fabian. Ball comes in. Not a lot of pressure. Marquinhos does get a nice touch on that one, Phil. Finds a seat. And a really brilliant leap. Swan Lake on that one. Caresses that one. Far counter is on. Neymar. Messi. Neymar. No says the referee. Again, there is VAR. They'll take a look. Was there enough contact here from the Saudi international? Great cut back. It continues as well. I'm telling you. Is he dragging the hook? Make this a red card. This is according to the law a penalty as well. He has seen it. Was he reaching for the pocket as well? We'll find out. Back onto the field for this penalty. Argentina in the World Cup. What will he do against the Brazilian here? A slow roller. Goes the Saudi keeper. When he is on, he can be lethal. But Kehler Navas probably saw more of these than almost any keeper on the planet. Into the wall. Off Marquinhos. The rebound trickles through. Poked back and it will be gathered by the Riyadh Stars. De Waal did their job, Phil. Very brave as well. Glancing header off the post. Still loose for Ronaldo. And second tries the charm. A brace for the Portuguese legend in his new hometown. We see again one of the best in the world when it comes to aerial battles, Phil. This CR7 is Ronaldo. The ability. The eyes are open. He wants to go far post. And then the follow up. He's on sides by the way. Brilliant. Between two of the best center backs in the world. Marquinhos and Ramos. Ramos cannot clear the rebound. But the header of Ronaldo. That flick will instinctively sniff out the rebound right here. After a mistake by Ramos. From a tough angle with his left foot. Overpowers Navas. The two Riyadh derby rivals teaming up. And now drawn with PSG. By the way in that derby. Al-Hilal currently in second place. 59 wins, 48 for Al-Nasr today. They're working together. Mbappe gets around the defense. In front for Sergio Ramos. And hey. Why not another? And eventually does come. And just like Marquinhos. Ramos just makes a hard run. This one is on the ground. No chance. But I'm telling you. Both center backs. Have excelled. Inside the opposing. Opponent. 18 yard box. Obviously all the hard work done by Mbappe. Getting away. From Abdul Hamid. And then. A good ball in. To the streaking. Near post Ramos. And yes. Why not? 3-2. Marquinhos and Ramos. Both in the score sheet. Cristiano. From the corner. Driven in the middle. And it's the Korean. Jang. Kyung Soo Jang. Three goals for his national team. And this will be one to remember. Kept it alive. For the first goal. He's there again. And just gets ahead of Ramos. And talk about a flick header. No chance for Ramos. Ramos is. Messi. Quickly for Neymar. Threads it for Mbappe. Back to the middle for Messi. Blocked away. But off the arm. And back to the spot we go. El Bullayi. Couldn't get out of the way. His argument is. In a natural position. Bang, bang. Hard to argue. It comes very fast. And yes. The arm is away from the body field. It starts high. He tries to actually bring it in. Crowd. 11 meters away. And one goal the distance. Mbappe scores. He's on the score sheet. And back in front. The next generation. Makes its presence felt. Ronaldo will exit. The Al-Hilal midfielder. Mohamed Kano will check in. And. A nice round of applause. For the Portuguese legend. Let's see. And it will be Messi. So. Equaling Cristiano Ronaldo. On the. Clock. And both goats. Maybe not ready for the pasture. As the two Argentines. Say hello. But they are ready. To watch this one. From the sidelines. Has been. Through the opening. 60 minutes plus. Mutual respect. Now with some of the youngsters on. They also have something to prove. Taliska the turn. Donnarumma. Hops over to make the stop. Luis Gustavo almost stole it. But he leaves the back door open. And now. A charge for Eketike. Around Abdul Hamid. Off the ice. And Hugo Eketike. Scoring run continues. It's 5-3 PSG. Drives that one. Upper V-far post. Well executed. Free kick. Or sorry. Counter. Obviously. Of a player that was replaced. Very early in the last game. Because of. Not played particularly well. In the third minute. Ronaldo. Alquinhos. Ronaldo again. Ramos. Looking for Taliska. To add his name to the list. But it just whistles wide. I can't hit the frame. But he's got such a good strike. With a left foot. In the African Championship. As Morocco withdrawing. Through ball for Mati Pereira. That's through Bichiabu. Pereira through. Carrillo. Back. And up and over. Bouncing back towards Pereira. Otaif. Off Taliska. And rifled up and over. So close. Sneaks it inside. On the turn. Taliska. Goal. And what a way to bring down the curtain. He's been starving for one. And that was a feast. With that cultivated left foot from distance. This time. Through traffic. Donnarumma. She's up late. Also. Just gets away from him. The pace. Power. Position. Brilliantly executed. Abdulrahman Al-Jassim. And the referee brings the whistle up. And ends a Cinderella night. In this last dance between the legends. Hope you enjoyed it.
