Neymar is the new big name added to the Saudi Pro League. He joins the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante in Saudi Arabia.

The addition of these big names to the league will surely increase the competition, and this will also help in promoting the league.

Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli are the four teams funded by the PIF. These four teams have added some of the biggest names in world football.

Ronaldo and Neymar have not played for the same team, and many fans would want them to take the field in the same shirt. So, the question arises: can we see both of these superstars on the same team?

Last season, a friendly match was organised between PSG and an all-star team from Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr. Cristiano Ronaldo once again faced his biggest rival, Lionel Messi.

The match ended 5-4 in favour of the French champions. Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe scored a goal each, while Neymar missed a penalty. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace for the Saudi all-star team. 

There is a chance that these kinds of friendly and exhibition matches will be organised in the future as well. Saudi Arabia is looking to promote their league. The players who have joined the league have a separate fanbase, which is likely to attract viewers.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar were rivals during their time in Spain. Neymar joined Barcelona in 2013 and spent four seasons at the LaLiga side. He won a famous treble in 2014-15 with the Spanish side. Cristiano, on the other hand, won three Champions League during that time.

Not only Ronaldo and Neymar but players like Benzema, N'Golo Kante, Ruben Neves, Mane and a few others could play in the same team.
