Cristiano Ronaldo commented on Ligue 1
Fans on X have reacted in disbelief after Cristiano Ronaldo boldly claimed that the Saudi Pro League is better than Ligue 1. The Portugal ace also commented that Ligue 1 only has Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), saying that the other 19 teams are 'finished'.
Cristiano Ronaldo made an appearance at the 14th edition of the Globe Soccer Awards event hosted in Dubai (Friday, December 27). During one of the segments of the show, he said (via @MadridUniversal):
“Saudi League is better than Ligue 1, of course. Try to sprint in 38, 39, 40 degree weather and see. Ligue 1 only has PSG. The other teams are finished."
Ronaldo joined Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Nassr in January 2023 as a free agent where he plies his trade to date. The 39-year-old has voiced his support of the SPL in the past. He also insisted their product was better than the MLS - where Lionel Messi plays for Inter Miami.
