Even if Lionel Messi’s move to PSG will not go down in history, Ligue 1 is using it to steal Cristiano Ronaldo.
“The Saudi League is not worse than Ligue 1. The Saudi Pro League is more competitive than Ligue 1, I can say that after a year there. We are already better than the French championship now. » This statement from Cristiano Ronaldo, in comments reported by Fabrizio Romano, ignited the powder.
Some observers even saw it as a tackle aimed at Lionel Messi, who played for Paris Saint-Germain for two seasons. The X account (ex-Twitter) of the French championship chose to ride on this controversy by qualifying the Argentinian as “best player of all time”. “It’s a more physical championship than La Liga. The teams appear stronger and leave less space. The matches are tough”Messi said at the time in an interview given to France Football. Comments that are repeated in the post on the social network.
