Cristiano Ronaldo produced a piece of stunning skill during his first match since he signed for Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr.

The 37-year-old Portuguese legend started for Riyadh XI as they took on French Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint Germain in what was a much-anticipated friendly clash.

After the big build-up, the match did not disappoint as Messi put PSG ahead after just three minutes with a clever finish after an inch-perfect pass from Brazil star Neymar.

Ronaldo however was not going to let Messi take all the plaudits as he then produced a piece of wonderful skill which delighted the crowd.

The Al Nassr man took the ball and rolled his studs across it before flicking it through the legs of PSG midfielder Carlos Soler. It was a mesmerising piece of ball control from the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.

Fans were quick to react to Ronaldo’s magic on social media.

One said: “Messi can’t do that.”

Another tweeted: “Cristiano Ronaldo is still the best dribbler in the world.”

A third fan added: “Cristiano Ronaldo just retired Carlos Soler.”

Ronaldo then scored his first goal in Saudi Arabia after he was fouled by PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas inside the 18-yard box, the forward stepped up and slotted his penalty away cooly before pulling out his famous SIU celebration.

PSG then went back ahead through defender Marquinhos’ brilliant header and had the chance to make it 3-2 from 12 yards.

However, Neymar stepped up and saw his tame effort saved by Riyadh XI goalkeeper Mohammed Khalil Al Owais.

Neymar's poor penalty was then punished as Ronaldo scored again just before half-time to make it 2-2 in what has been a fantastic end-to-end match filled with brilliant moments.
