Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar both joined Saudi Arabian clubs in 2023, but they have not faced each other directly yet. On November 2, Al Nassr will meet Al Hilal at Al Awal Park at King Saud University. So, will Neymar and Ronaldo play against each other in this Al Nassr vs. Al Hilal?
Neymar joined Al-Hilal SFC but had to rest due to a ligament injury. Recently, he seems to have recovered. He came on as a substitute in the second half of the AFC Champions League match against Al Ain.
However, when asked if he would play against the five-time Ballon d’Or winner in this important match for the league title, Neymar said no. This is because Al-Hilal SFC did not register the 32-year-old player for the Saudi Pro League before the season started in August due to his serious injury. Neymar will only be eligible to play for the 19-time Saudi champions when the registration window opens again in January.
