PARIS — Cristiano Ronaldo's first game in Saudi Arabia is set to be against Paris Saint-Germain. That could mean a possible reunion with his career-long rival Lionel Messi. Qatar-owned PSG says it will play a Jan. 19 friendly in Riyadh on a two-day trip to the region. It's against a composite team of players from Ronaldo's new club Al Nassr and Asian champion Al Hilal. Ronaldo should have to wait until Jan. 22 for a formal debut for Al-Nassr in a league game. World soccer rules require the 37-year-old star to finish serving a two-match suspension imposed by the English Football Association in November.
