PSG and Al Nassr once again face off in a friendly match as the two sides look to prepare for the 2023/24 season.
Luis Enrique will be wanting to test out a few of his new players in this fixture while also hoping that his side win comfortably to take some light away from the Kylian Mbappe saga.
Al Nassr's preseason plans have not gone to plan so far. Despite winning their first two matches, they have since lost 5-0 to Celta Vigo and 4-1 to Benfica ahead of their trip to Japan.
The two sides last met in January in a nine-goal thriller as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo went head-to-head, both scoring in the game which ended 5-4 in favour of the Ligue 1 side.

120 mins to kickoff: Hello and welcome to The Sporting News' coverage of the preseason friendly match between PSG and Al Nassr.
Both sides will be feeling a lot of pressure due to news surrounding each club. PSG seem to be in an intense battle with Kylian Mbappe as the star forward could be on his way out of the club, which therefore leaves him out of this game. Al Nassr, like many Saudi Pro League teams, have been signing players from top European clubs to bolster their squad.
