The five-time Ballon d’Or winner looked at Ligue 1 and did not hesitate to tackle the French championship and its various clubs.
“In France, there is only PSG, the others are finished. That’s my opinion, I don’t care what they say. France is only PSG, sorry. It’s a competitive championship, OK, but PSG is the strongest. No one can compete with him. They have the best players, they are the club with the most money. It’s factual. I’m not lying, I don’t know why people are so surprised,” he said.
Statements that should make many observers react in the coming days. However, despite CR7’s comments, several French clubs including Stade Brestois, AS Monaco and Lille OSC are shining on the European scene and showing that Ligue 1 competes with other European championships.
