The reason why the match drew attention on this day was because of the confrontation between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo recently left Europe to wear an Al Nasr shirt. Now, the possibility of Messi and Ronaldo facing each other is zero unless it is an event match or a national team match.
In this situation, the event match was concluded, and 68,000 spectators gathered to watch the ‘Meho Daejeon’, which may be the last. In the game that day, Messi and Ronaldo roamed the ground for regarding 60 minutes, and both players scored goals. The game ended with PSG winning 5-4.
Regarding this, ‘ESPN’ said, “Many spectators gathered to see Messi and Ronaldo, who scored close to 1,600 goals,” and said, “Messi and Ronaldo did not disappoint us. If this was the last match between Ronaldo and Messi, this match in the desert was never bad.”
“They put on a fantastic show. The fans seemed to have forgotten that the match was an event match.”
