The meeting between PSG against a selection made up of the best players from the Saudi teams of Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo’s new club, and Al-Hilal sells. To highlight this friendly match, Turki al-Sheikh, adviser to the Royal Court and head of the Saudi General Entertainment Authority, had launched an auction. A ticket for the match with VIP benefits was notably up for grabs.
The bidding had started at 1 million Saudi riyals (245,000 euros), they ended at 10 million riyals (2.4 million euros). An offer made by Mushref al-Ghamdi, a real estate giant in Saudi Arabia. As a reminder, this is surely the last confrontation between the two behemoths of world football, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
