Ligue 1 responds to CR7… using Lionel Messi

This Friday, Cristiano Ronaldo attacked the French championship again, indicating that the Saudi championship was more difficult. “Try to sprint at 38, 39, 40 degrees, explained the Portuguese. Come play here and you'll see. You don't believe me, come on. I don't care what people think. All there is in France, it’s PSG, the others are finished,” said the Al-Nassr captain. It was enough to make the Ligue 1 social networks react. First of all, by bringing out from the archives a statement from Lionel Messi on the level of the French elite. “It's a much more physical championship than LaLiga. The teams seem more physical and the matches are difficult, there is little space. The players are very strong” said the one who wore the colors of Paris-Saint-Germain (2021-2023).

But that's not all. The Spanish Ligue 1 account then posted a photo of the man who is considered – probably rightly – the greatest player of all time with the 2022 World Cup won against the French team during a epic match. And a big tackle against CR7: “Leo Messi playing under 38 degrees”. Indeed, the five-time Ballon d'Or has still not won a single title since his departure from Manchester United and his arrival in Saudi Arabia. How to conclude the “debate” with eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi?
