Ronaldo was silent when Al Nassr drew with PSG
On the attack of Al Nassr, Ronaldo and Anderson Talisca all started. Two rookie midfielders Marcelo Brozovic and Seko Fofana also played from the start.
Al Nassr focuses most of the ball on Ronaldo, but the former Man Utd star does not seem to have regained his best form. 40 minutes, striker No. 7 volleyed from five meters into the hands of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. Four minutes later, he jumped to the finish bike upside down, but the ball was more than a meter off goal.
In the 49th minute, he missed the volley again, before leaving the field to make way for Abdel Fatah. Ronaldo has yet to score in five friendlies of Al Nassr this summer.
On the PSG side, new coach Luis Enrique placed rookies Marco Asensio, Cher Ndour, Milan Skriniar and Noha Lemina in the starting lineup. Kylian Mbappe had to stay in France because he refused to renew his contract, but his brother Ethan Mbappe came on after the break.
PSG had the upper hand in the first half. However, the lack of a good finisher prevented the Ligue 1 champions from converting chances into goals. Of which, a remarkable phase was missed in the 22nd minute. The 18-year-old player replaced Mbappe, Noha Lemina missed the post despite facing goalkeeper Nawaf Alaqidi.
After this match, Al Nassr will meet Inter Milan on July 27, and PSG will meet Cerezo Osaka on July 28 and Inter Milan on August 1.
