Riyadh Season XI 4-5 PSG: It all started in the 3rd minute when Leo Messi bagged the first of 9 goals in a massively entertaining affair in Riyadh that at times was anything but friendly.

The match included nine goals, a missed penalty, a red card, VAR intervention, and of course, two of the best players in recent memory as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo shared the field for what may have been the final time.

Both players found the back of the net tonight, with Messi getting things started before CR7 converted from the penalty spot following a right hook from PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas.

The King Fahd Stadium's 68,000 spectators enjoyed the fast-paced first half that saw Spaniard Bernat sent off in the 39th minute for a professional foul.

The French team extended their lead soon before halftime when Marquinhos drove home after a superb ball from Mbappé. The dismissal appeared to motivate PSG.

There was still time for further drama as the clock approached the 45-second mark. Neymar missed a penalty kick before Cristiano scored to level Messi for the most head-to-head victories (23), heading against the post then scoring with his left foot as the final whistle rang.

Sergio Ramos gave PSG the lead before Han headed Riyadh to tie the score early in the second half. Mbappe had increased PSG's advantage just before both coaches made significant substitutions, and Ekitike had increased the lead for the visitors, while the star players were taking well-deserved breaks on the sideline.

The best goal of the game was scored in stoppage time by the Brazilian Talisca, who drove in from the edge of the box to end a thrilling 90 minutes of play.
