The players arrived early morning in a Qatar Airways flight. The team will train in the evening at the iconic Khalifa Stadium and also take part in a series of activations organised with the Club's partners in Qatar.
The team will head to Riyadh to play against an all-star XI from Saudi top clubs Al Hilal and Al-Nassr who will be led by the Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo tomorrow.
The match to be held at King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh, will see Ronaldo and Messi go head-to-head. They have not clashed since December 2020 when Juventus beat Barcelona 3-0.
The team will fly back after the game to Paris.
