It will be a mix between Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr. As the coach of Al-Nassr, I cannot be happy with this match. For development, to see PSG, to see the great Parisian players, indeed it is a good thing. But we have a championship game three days later.”
Cristiano Ronaldo was forced to sit out during Al-Nassr’s victory against Al-Ta’ee last week through suspension. He will also miss the Worldwide’s game Al-Shabab on Saturday.
Real Madrid are among the clubs who have shown interest in signing Kylian Mbappe in recent years. The Blancos came close to acquiring his services on a free transfer last summer. However, the move broke down during the final stages as PSG pursued him to extend his stay at the Parc des Princes.
Nevertheless, with Mbappe’s relationship with PSG deteriorating, the Blancos could make another approach to signing him in the future.
Lionel Messi’s PSG are currently at the top of the Ligue 1 table, with 44 points from 17 games. They will next lock horns against Angers in a league game at the Parc des Princes on January 12. Messi is likely to feature in the game.
