Lionel Messi and the rest of PSG will be in Saudi Arabia this week for the Riyadh Season Cup 2023, where they will face an All-Star XI from Al Nassr and Al Hilal.

The French champions have a packed domestic and Champions League calendar coming up, so they will likely start a mixture of first-team stars and younger players.

The match itself isn’t the main attraction; the probable final encounter between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo is. Ronaldo, a Portuguese player, will be making his debut after signing a new contract to play in Saudi Arabia.

Ronaldo, Talisca, and Matheus Pereira are all favorites to start for the home team in the Al Nassr/Al Hilal All-Star XI, with David Ospina sitting this one out due to injury.

The expected starting XI (3-4-3) for Al Nassr/Al Hilal: Al-Haydar, Al-Khaibari, Gustavo, Pereira, Talisca, Ronaldo, Marega, Alawjami, Gonzalez, Alamri, Al-Maiouf (GK), Alawjami

Social media photographs have suggested Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Sergio Ramos are all on PSG’s roster, but the club has yet to officially announce their roster. Nordi Mukiele (hamstring), Marco Verratti (quad), and Lucas Lavallee are the only three players who did not make the trip (hamstring).

This is the predicted starting lineup for PSG (3-4-3): Danilo, Marquinhos, Ramos, Bernat, Ruiz, Zaire-Emery, Hakimi, Messi, Ekitike, Mbappe, Navas (GK).
Prediction and odds for PSG vs. Al Nassr/Al Hilal

Although it’s hard to make predictions for such an out-of-the-ordinary matchup, the feeling is that PSG will easily win in the Middle East. There is a chance that Ronaldo will be humiliated in his first game if the reigning Ligue 1 winners get into their groove early.

I think PSG will win 3-1.
