Cristiano Ronaldo faced Lionel Messi in a friendly between Paris Saint-Germain and Riyadh Season at the King Fahd International Stadium. The Portuguese striker made his debut in this match after signing for Al Nassr and posted on social media that he was "so happy" to be back on the pitch despite his defeat.

The Portuguese international posted some photos on his social media after the match: "So happy to be back on the pitch, and on the score sheet!," he wrote on Twitter.

"And nice to see some old friends!," he added. CR7's future lies in Saudi Arabia and the striker seems to be 'happy' with his decision.
