Cristiano Ronaldo said the Saudi professional league is better than Ligue 1.
"Ronaldo once again insisted that the professional league in Saudi Arabia is higher than that of Ligue 1," global media "Goal Dotcom" said on the 28th (Korea Standard Time).
According to the media, Ronaldo attended the 2024 Globe Soccer Awards and expressed his thoughts, saying, "The Saudi Arabian Professional League is better than Ligue 1. I'm not saying this because I play here. It doesn't matter what people think about it. Players will come here and find out quickly. Come and see. If you can't believe it, come. There is only Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in France. I'm sorry, but all the other teams are done. No one can beat them. Because they have the most money and the best players." 스포츠토토
Ronaldo left Manchester United for Al Nasr in the winter transfer market of the 2022-23 season. The finish was not good with Manchester United, and many were surprised that Ronaldo would play for Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo has still displayed scoring ability in the Saudi Arabian professional league. He scored 14 goals in his debut season, and after his second year in the league, he garnered 35 goals and 11 assists in the league once again. He has displayed good performance this season by scoring 10 goals in the league as well. He also scored four goals in the AFC Champions League Elite (ACLE).
Has he already played in the Saudi Arabian professional league for three years? Ronaldo once said the Saudi Arabian professional league is better than Ligue 1.
A year after Al-Nasr's transfer, Ronaldo once said, "I don't think the Saudi Arabian professional league is bad compared to Ligue 1. There are two or three teams at a good level in Ligue 1. The Saudi Arabian professional league is more competitive. They can do whatever they want. Of course it's just my opinion and I played here for a year. Right now, I think we (Saudi) are better than Ligue 1. We are still improving."
