Paris Saint-Germain's Japan tour started with a whimper on Tuesday as they played out a 0-0 draw with Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr in Osaka.
The biggest reactions from the relatively modest crowd of 25,432 in the first half were reserved for a couple of Ronaldo efforts. In the 39th minute, Ghareeb received a ball on the left flank and found Cristiano Ronaldo with a delightful cross to the penalty spot - the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, with an incredible one-touch finish, almost scored the opening goal but was denied by an incredible save from Donnarumma.
Just four minutes later, the former Real Madrid player also came close to putting Luis Castro's side ahead after finishing Talisca's cross from the right with an incredible bicycle kick. However, the ball went just wide of the post and the referee ruled out the attempt as the portuguese was offside.
Luis Enrique's side will next play Cerezo Osaka, before travelling to Tokyo to take on Inter Milan. Al Nassr will face Inter in Osaka on Thursday
