Cristiano Ronaldo, present at the Globe Soccer Awards 2024 in Dubai, reiterated his criticism of Ligue 1.
The Al-Nassr striker compared the Saudi championship to the French League, saying the Saudi Pro League (SPL) is more competitive and better equipped to become one of the top three leagues in the world in the future.
“To be honest, I think the Saudi championship is not worse than the French championship. In France, there are two or three teams with a good level, while the SPL is more competitive. She continues to grow and, step by step, will reach the very highest level “, declared the five-time Ballon d’Or, confident about the development of Saudi football.
Ronaldo didn't mince his words when asked about Ligue 1. All there is in France is PSG. The others are finished. They are playing, but PSG are stronger and have better players. It's a fact. » He also invited skeptics to come play in Saudi Arabia to experience the demanding conditions of the championship, emphasizing the difficulty of performing in high temperatures.
These statements, similar to those made in 2023, confirm Ronaldo's desire to defend the Saudi project in the face of criticism and to promote the SPL as a major player in world football.
