“All there is in France is PSG. The others are finished. » Here is some of the
comments made by Cristiano Ronaldo on Fridayduring the Globe Soccer Awards ceremony organized in Dubai.
To defend the Saudi Pro League, a championship in which he has been playing since the start of 2023, the Portuguese international also used a… climatic argument. “Players should come and play there. Try sprinting in 38, 39, 40 degrees, sweating… Come play here and you’ll see”declared the five-time Ballon d’Or.
The L1 does not let itself be intimidated by Cristiano Ronaldo
The French championship’s communicators chose derision to respond to the former Real Madrid player. On X (formerly Twitter), they used a photo of Lionel Messi ahead of the World Cup in 2022, with the following caption, in Spanish: “Messi when he plays in 38 degrees”. Surely the best way to pique the Portuguese superstar, through his eternal rival, who played two seasons in Ligue 1 under the colors of Paris Saint-Germain.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s argument is actually difficult to hear. In the Champions League, Stade Brestois and Lille are currently in the Top 8 in the general ranking. On the other hand, PSG, which occupies 25th place, is virtually eliminated from the prestigious competition between clubs.
