Over 2 million People Request For Tickets To Watch Cristiano Ronaldo Take On Lionel Messi And PSG In Saudi Arabia

Over 2 million people request for tickets to watch Cristiano Ronaldo take on Lionel Messi and PSG in Saudi Arabia

Over two million people have reportedly requested a ticket to watch Cristiano Ronaldo potentially take on Lionel Messi's Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in Saudi Arabia on January 19.Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal's joint team will face PSG in an exhibition match at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh later this month.

 The 68,000-capacity stadium could see Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo face each other for the first time in more than two years.

The last time they were on the pitch together was in December 2020. Ronaldo's brace helped Juventus beat Messi's Barcelona 3-0 in the UEFA Champions League on that occasion.

The Portugal icon signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Saudi Arabian club last month. This leaves friendly matches and the FIFA Club World Cup as the only way these two can play against each other at club level for now.Messi (35) and Ronaldo (37) are also in the twilight of their careers. 

Fans perhaps realize that they won't have many chances to see them play against each other after this.

As per ESPN, over two million of them were in an online queue at one point to get tickets for the match when the sale went live earlier this month. It is yet to be confirmed if the two will feature in the contest.

Ronaldo's debut for Al-Nassr has been delayed by a two-game suspension for smashing a phone out of an Everton fan's hand during his time at Manchester United. However, he will be cleared to play by the time PSG arrive in Saudi Arabia.
