Ronaldo is expected to make his debut on January 14 in the top-of-the-table clash against Al-Shabab.

And he will need to get up to speed quickly, with reports claiming an All-Star XI from the Saudi Pro League will take on Paris Saint-Germain in a friendly.

The team would be solely made up of players from Al-Nassr and defending champions Al-Hilal.

And the game would also see Ronaldo and World Cup winner Messi share the pitch once more following their years of battling at Real Madrid and Barcelona.

PSG will have a host of star names to call upon, including Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.

But the All-Stars XI could also boast numerous top talents, including an ex-Man Utd forward and a former Arsenal goalkeeper.

The latter is none other than David Ospina, who is Ronaldo’s new teammate at Al-Nassr.

He joined the Saudi side from Napoli over the summer, having previously spent four years at the Emirates.

How the All-Star XI could line up against PSG

In defence, the All-Stars could boast two Saudi Arabian aces in experienced duo Mohammed Al-Breik and Ali Al-Bulaihi.

And joining them would be Spaniard Alvaro Gonzalez, formerly of Villarreal and Marseille, plus Ivorian Ghislain Konan.

Midfield is likely to boast Bayern Munich Champions League winner Luiz Gustavo, plus former Benfica prodigy Talisca.

And the third place could go to Saudi World Cup youngster Musab Al-Juwayr.

Up top is where it gets really exciting for the All-Star side, with Ronaldo taking one of the front three spots.

Joining him would be United fan favourite Odion Ighalo, who scored five goals during a year-long loan spell at Old Trafford.

The final spot would likely go to Moussa Marega, with former Porto pal Vincent Aboubakar narrowly missing out.

And the formidable All-Star XI would certainly give PSG a run for their money should the two sides eventually meet this year.
