Football fans around the world — particularly those in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf — still can't get over the nine-goal action between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and the Cristiano Ronaldo-led Riyadh All-Star XI.

It was a thriller that got spectators on their toes for the entire duration of the game, which ended in a 5-4 PSG victory.

Of the 9 goals, there's one that thousands of Netizens are still talking about today: One that involved two football stars Neymar and Messi.

Look at how Neymar just kicked the ball out and how Messi darted across the box to chase it and score a goal in this video shared by PSG:

In an action-packed first half at the King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh, goals from Messi and Marquinhos were cancelled out by a Ronaldo brace, while PSG's Juan Bernat was sent off for a lunging tackle on Saudi international Salem Al-Dawsari.

The game resumed at a frenetic pace after the break, with goals coming thick and fast as Sergio Ramos turned in a Kylian Mbappe cross for PSG before South Korean Jang Hyun-soo replied with a near-post header from a corner to make it 3-3.
