Al-Nassr placed plenty of emphasis on shooting practice in their final warm-up session, with Ronaldo and Co given a chance to get their eye in ahead of competitive action.

Ex-Liverpool star Mane also found the back of the net during a productive shooting drill. The Senegal international has been catching the eye alongside Ronaldo in the Middle East, with head coach Luis Castro having plenty of world-class talent at his disposal.
