After a 5-0 friendly defeat by Al Nassr against Celta de Vigo, Ronaldo did not mince words. He discussed, among other things, the arrival of the many stars to the country. “I opened the door to Saudi Arabia. Now all the players will follow. My choice to play here was crucial to get more top players. That’s a fact. When I went to Juventus, Serie A was almost dead , but then it was revived. Wherever Cristiano goes, he arouses interest.”
Ronaldo expects many great players to follow his example. “Within a year, more and more top players will make the switch to Saudi Arabia,” the attacker predicts. “This competition will soon surpass the Dutch and Turkish competition. And the Saudi competition is already better than the MLS. I am 100 percent sure that I will not return to a European club. I am 38 years old, but European football has also lost a lot of quality. The only competition that matters is the Premier League.”
