The highly anticipated pre-season friendly between Paris Saint-Germain and Al Nassr, which featured Cristiano Ronaldo, finished in a goalless draw, leaving supporters with mixed feelings. The match, which took place in Osaka, marked the start of PSG’s Japan tour. 

Last year, Japanese fans were treated to Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Neymar’s football prowess during a series of PSG friendly, but none of the trio appeared this time. PSG’s performance was hampered by the absence of Lionel Messi, who has joined Major League Soccer club Inter Miami, and Neymar’s lengthy injury recuperation. The most surprising incident, however, was the absence of Kylian Mbappe from the squad immediately before the team’s departure to Asia.

All eyes were on Cristiano Ronaldo as the game went on, and he produced a couple of stunning tries. Gianluigi Donnarumma denied him from six yards out, then a magnificent overhead kick just missed the target, but it wouldn’t have counted because he was offside.

Both teams made multiple alterations in the second half, including Ronaldo’s exit after 66 minutes. Despite these adjustments, neither team was able to find the net. Fans were ecstatic throughout the game, but the lack of goals left them wanting more. The stadium’s relatively small crowd of 25,432 was hungry for some entertainment.
