The video showed Amitabh walking on to the grounds with match officials and meeting each and every player. He shook hands with Messi, Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar.

Messi and Ronaldo each scored in a high-adrenline 5-4 Paris Saint-German victory over Saudi All-Star XI. Thursday’s match was the first time the two superstars faced off each other since 2020 and the 37th time in their careers and could very well be the last time that they meet on a football ground. They have each scored 23 goals when facing each other but Messi has won 17 matches against Ronaldo’s 11.
