Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to defend the Saudi championship, ensuring that the Saudi Pro League was already more competitive than Ligue 1.

Cristiano Ronaldo has two missions at the end of his club career. Continue to pile up the goals, to improve his personal statistics, and try to convince the whole world that he did not join a second-rate championship by joining Saudi Arabia.

When it comes to goals, Ronaldo is doing pretty well. For the second part, the Portuguese is also aggressive, but this time in front of the microphones. The five-time Ballon d’Or has thus transformed himself into the main ambassador of the Saudi Pro League, and he can rejoice in having been joined in the Gulf by a host of other football stars (Benzema, Neymar, Mané, Mahrez …).

Ronaldo did it again this Friday during the Globe Soccer Awards, and he allowed himself to send a stray ball for… the French championship. “The Saudi League is not worse than Ligue1. The Saudi Pro League is more competitive than Ligue 1, I can say that after a year there, launched Ronaldo, in comments reported by Fabrizio Romano. We are already better than the French championship now. »

The most teasing will undoubtedly say that Ronaldo wanted to attack Lionel Messi’s former club, which allowed the Argentinian to pile up trophies (collective and individual) over the last two or three years. Others take the liberty of reminding him that the last time he faced a French club in the European Cup was to be eliminated from the Champions League with Juventus against OL in 2020.
