PSG's preseason tour of Japan began with a goalless draw against Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr.
Luis Enrique gave a lot of his new signings minutes together at the Nagai Stadium as well as opportunities for some younger players. Noha Lemina was the best PSG player on the pitch as he proved to be a constant threat.
Although Kylian Mbappe was left out of the squad for this tour, his younger brother Ethan Mbappe managed to get on the pitch in the second half of the match.
Ronaldo had a few good chances to score in the fixture, including a bicycle kick, but he failed to beat Gianluigi Donnarumma between the posts. Seko Fofana and Alex Telles both made their debuts for the Saudi Pro League team.
Fofana and Marcelo Brozovic formed a solid partnership in the Al Nassr midfield, but it is clear that there is still some unfamiliarity between the two new signings. However, it was a much better performance from Luis Castro's side than expected after their two previous defeats.
The Sporting News followed the match live and provided score updates, commentary and highlights below.
