The Saudi spectators were served for the last confrontation between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Double scorer, the Portuguese was not enough to prevent the success of PSG, reduced to 10 after the exclusion of Bernat (39th) on the All Star team of Saudi Arabia 5 goals to 4. No injuries are to be deplored for a PSG which was not reassured on this match.
Well launched by Lionel Messi's opener in the 3rd minute of play, PSG did not appear calm and quickly conceded the equalizer after a completely failed exit from Keylor Navas.
For this friendly match, the goalkeeper, usually a substitute, started and was reassuring until the 30th minute of play and his uncontrolled exit.
By sending his arm in the face of Ronaldo, the referee logically whistled a penalty against him.
A penalty transformed by Cristiano Ronaldo, who will score twice later (45 + 5th) and bring the two teams to equality after the goal of Marquinhos (43rd).
The Portuguese was certainly looking forward to this match and responded by being decisive.
PSG in difficulty on set piece
If PSG won, this meeting highlighted the difficulties experienced by the Parisian team on defensive set pieces.
It was also from a corner that Paris conceded the third goal of the evening (57th).
Without two interventions from Ramos and Navas, the Parisians could have conceded two other goals.
Regarding the Spanish defender, he once again showed his limits by being responsible for Ronaldo's second goal and did not give off an impression of serenity.
If the defensive sector has not reassured, PSG can congratulate themselves on the good impression left by their attacking trio (Messi, Neymar and Mbappé) who found themselves well this evening.
We could see several interesting combinations between the three as on the first goal of Messi (3rd) or on the penalty obtained by the Argentine and converted by Mbappé (60th).
If Neymar missed a penalty (45 + 2nd), Christophe Galtier can be satisfied with the last goal scored by Hugo Ekitike (78th) who continues and regains confidence at the best of times.
PSG is now turning to the 16th final of the Coupe de France against the Pays de Cassel, Monday (8:45 p.m.).
