Footage of Kylian Mbappe appearing to check if Cristiano Ronaldo is human has gone viral after Paris Saint Germain’s friendly against the Riyadh XI.
Ronaldo made his first start since making his big-money move to the Middle East earlier in the month.
He was named captain of the Riyadh XI as they took on PSG, who started Ronaldo’s long-time rival Lionel Messi.
