After the controversial statements of Cristiano Ronaldo, for whom “the Saudi Pro League is more competitive than Ligue 1”, the latter responded to him on social networks.
Having gone into exile in Saudi Arabia at the start of 2023 after a complicated end to history with Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo has become the number one ambassador of the championship of the wealthy oil country. It must also be said that other big names in world football have followed in the wake of the Portuguese star, like Neymar, Karim Benzema, Sadio Mané, Riyad Mahrez, etc. Enough to considerably raise the level of the Saudi Pro League. Even to the point of supplanting Ligue 1? This is CR7’s opinion.
Present this Friday during the Globe Soccer Awards, Cristiano Ronaldo spoke about the level of the Saudi championship, which has nothing to envy, according to him, of Ligue 1. “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, launched the five-time Ballon d’Or, in comments reported by Fabrizio Romano. We are already better than the French championship now. »
