( CNN ) -- Qatari football fans had a tantalizing glimpse into the future as some of the best players in world strutted their stuff in a special friendly match in Doha Thursday night . Cristiano Ronaldo for Real Madrid and Paris Saint Germain 's Zlatan Ibrahimovic topped the bill for a prestige friendly , which Real won 1-0 . The pair had last locked horns in Portugal and Sweden 's 2014 World Cup playoff match last November where Ronaldo 's brilliance proved the difference over the two legs . Qatar has won the right to host the 2022 finals and although Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic are unlikely to have extended their careers to play in that World Cup , similar quality is sure to be on view . What time of the year the competition will take place is the big question that has proved so controversial , with FIFA examining the possibility of switching from the traditional summer slot to the European winter . Conditions for Thursday 's friendly in front of a capacity crowd at the Khalifa International Stadium were near perfect for football , with a cooling light drizzle . Ideal for Ronaldo and his like , but just down the road fellow superstar Rafael Nadal was kept waiting for his quarterfinal match in the Qatar Open tennis against Ernests Gulbis , before winning in straight sets . Temperatures during the summer in Qatar can sometimes reach 50 degrees C , which is perplexing football 's administrators as well as local organizers , who have promised air-conditioned stadiums should the original dates be kept in the footballing calendar . Real , who resume competition in Spain 's La Liga at the weekend , fielded a mixture of established first teamers like Ronaldo , Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos with some fringe players and youngsters . It was two of them that combined to score the only goal of the match in the 19th minute as Alvaro Morata produced a clever defense-splitting pass for young striker Jese to convert past PSG goakeeper Salvatore Sirigu . Ibrahimovic , who scored 47 goals in 58 games in 2013 , showed his quality as French champions PSG looked to equalize . He twice set up Edinson Cavani , but the Uruguay striker wasted both opportunities . Ibrahimovic might have got on the scoresheet after the break but he headed over , the first of a number of chances for PSG , who had the better of the play . Ronaldo also gave some thrilling glimpses of the quality which could earn him FIFA World Player of the Year accolade later this month , but failed to increase Real 's slender lead . At the final whistle Real 's coach Carlo Ancelotti shook hands with the man who replaced him at PSG , Laurent Blanc and both looked satisfied with a run-out for their teams ahead of weekend competitive action . PSG are Qatari-owned and will likely repeat the exercise next year with reports suggesting Real are slated again as part of the compensation they paid the Parisian club for acquiring Ancelotti .
