This was Ronaldo’s second career goal for Al Nassr after he had converted a late penalty in last week’s 2-2 draw at Al Fateh.

He did not perform his famous “SIU” celebration last week because his goal was not enough to help Al Nassr win.

But he treated fans at the King Abdul Aziz Stadium to his trademark celebration routine in full.

It has also been reported that Al Nassr’s rivals, Al Hilal, are interested in signing Messi. If they fail to lure the Argentine to Saudi Arabia, they may make a move for Neymar, who, while not keen on leaving PSG, is reportedly open to considering offers.

The potential moves come as PSG looks to shake up its squad following another disappointing Champions League campaign.

The team was knocked out in the last 16 by Bayern Munich, and while they currently sit atop the Ligue 1 standings, it has been another disappointing season.

While losing players of the caliber of Messi and Neymar would be a blow to any team, PSG has shown in the past that it has the financial resources to make big moves in the transfer market.

The potential moves also highlight the growing interest in Saudi Arabian football, which has been attracting top talent in recent years.

The country has invested heavily in football infrastructure and has been hosting high-profile tournaments, such as the Super Cup and the Club World Cup.

It also has aspirations to host the 2030 World Cup and Ronaldo and Messi acting as ambassadors would certainly help their cause.
