At the same time, it would have been hard to imagine Neymar saying the opposite. At the end of 2024, Cristiano Ronaldo was once again very offensive towards Ligue 1.All there is in France is Paris Saint-Germain. The others are finished. Players should come and play there. Try sprinting in 38, 39, 40 degrees, sweating… Come play here and you'll see” said the Portuguese during a ceremony organized in the Gulf. And obviously, the Portuguese, handsomely paid by the Saudi kingdom since his transfer to Saudi Arabia, is not the only one to think that.
“Saudi Arabia surprised me positively”
Today, it is the turn of the Brazilian Neymar to launch an attack on the French championship. At the microphone of CNNhe drops his arguments: “The level of the Saudi Pro League is increasing and, from what I see, it is better than that of Ligue 1. L1 is a very strong championship, I played there so I know it well. But today the Saudi Pro League players are better. Saudi Arabia surprised me positively“. A surprising statement to say the least made by the man who, since his transfer for 90 million euros from PSG a year and a half ago, has only played seven short matches, the fault of a breakup of the cruciate ligament having kept him away from the field for a year.
