Cristiano Ronaldo (39 years old) has stood out recently for his media outings on Ligue 1, which he considers inferior to the Saudi Pro League and dead with the exception of PSG. As his 40th birthday approaches and the expiration of his contract on June 30, CR7 has revealed his truths about his goal to accomplish in the future.
On the occasion of Globe Soccer Awards which took place last Friday, December 27, Cristiano Ronaldo was crowned best player in the Middle East of the year 2024. Ronaldo took advantage of this ceremony to once again empty his bag on the level of the Saudi Pro Leaguewhom he has been attending since January 2023 at Al–Nasrwhich in his eyes is well above the Ligue 1.
“In France, there is only PSG, the others are finished”
“They should come here and play to see. It's 38, 39 or 40 degrees. They should come here and see. Don't trust what I say, come and see for yourselves. 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 league, 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”. So here is a reminder from Cristiano Ronaldo who had particularly attracted the wrath ofFair Rami. The world champion assured that CR7currently, would absolutely not walk around in Ligue 1.
“Being able to compete with other championships. It's my dream”
During an interview broadcast by Canal+, Cristiano Ronaldo shared his big dream for the end of his career. As he celebrates his 40th birthday on February 5, the five-time Ballon d’or seeks to grow the Saudi Pro League with a view to competing with other championships.
“Being the first, let’s say “star”, to come to Saudi Arabia. For me, it's an honor. But what I want and what I'm looking for is to continue to develop the league in the next 5-10 years. Not only the best teams, but also the training centers. Not only for the Saudi championship, but also for the country, to be able to compete with other championships. This is my dream and I will try to help the Saudi championship reach this level.”
