Since Ronaldo, 37, has yet to play for Al Nassr because of a suspension from his stint at Manchester United, all eyes will be on his debut game with some of his Al Nassr colleagues.
A striking forward line, led by Brazilian forward Talisca, who has already scored 11 league goals this season, will present challenges for PSG. Due to an injury, David Ospina cannot play.

PSG starting 11
The starting lineup for PSG (3-4-3) is as follows: Navas (GK) — Bitshiabu, Marquinhos, Ramos — Bernat, Sanches, Soler, Hakimi — Neymar, Messi, and Mbappe.
- Injured: Marco Verratti, Presnel Kimpembe, Nuno Mendes, Nordi Mukiele, Lucas Lavallee
- Suspended: N/A
Galtier will utilize this game to increase his team’s match understanding because he has been gradually reintroducing some players to action since the World Cup, with Messi making just two starts in 2023.
With very few, if any, players playing the full 90 minutes, the French team is likely to make significant substitutions during the break.
Due to injuries, Nordi Mukiele (hamstring), Marco Verratti (quad), and goalie Lucas Lavallee were unable to travel with the PSG team (hamstring). Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles) and Nuno Mendes, two defenders, have been sidelined for several weeks due to injury.
