“We are better than Ligue 1!” Cristiano Ronaldo on the Saudi Pro League

Cristiano Ronaldo’s move from European football to Saudi was one of the most historic transfers in history. His transfer to the Al Nassr club of the Saudi Pro League completely changed the scenario of Saudi football. The reason is that several top football players like Neymar Jr., Kante, Benzema, and many more joined different clubs in the Saudi Pro League. All of these happened almost a year ago, and Cristiano Ronaldo released a big statement about the Saudi Pro League.

Cristiano Ronaldo said:

“The Saudi Pro League is more competitive than Ligue 1, and we are better than the French League already now.”

Here is the complete statement:

“The Saudi Pro League is more competitive than Ligue 1. I can say that after one year spent there, and I’m sure. We are better than the French League already.”

“I feel so happy that Al Nassr Saudi is in the process; it will take long. But then they will go to the top level. The Saudi Pro League will be among the top three leagues in the world! So, people in Saudi Arabia will be proud for sure.”

Undoubtedly, after the historic move of Cristiano Ronaldo to the Saudi Pro League, it was recognized as one of the top leagues. Currently, if we look at the league rankings, the Saudi Pro League stands at 66. Whereas, Ligue 1 stands at 6^th. There are a lot of differences between both leagues.

But if we look at a year ago, PSG faced Al Nassr in a club-friendly match. The results of the match were 5-4, and both icons faced each other. That game was quite entertaining and went down to the last minute.

This means Saudi clubs have a lot of quality, but they need time, as Cristiano Ronaldo mentioned. Will the Saudi Pro League rank among the top three leagues in the world? Let us know your views in the comment section.
