The slogan, the L1 of talents, is not really Cristiano Ronaldo’s opinion. Present at the “Globe Soccer Awards” ceremony in Dubai, the five-time Ballon d’Or transformed himself into a luxury sales representative this Friday, extolling the merits and quality of the Saudi Championship. Although he has never played in Ligue 1, the former Manchester United, Real Madrid or Juventus Turin striker began a comparison with the Saudi Pro League where he has been playing for a year with d ‘Al-Nassr.
In the calendar year 2023, the 38-year-old Portuguese international scored 53 goals, ahead of Kylian Mbappé and Harry Kane (52 goals each). A record contested by many who believe that the level of the Saudi championship is well below the major European championships.
“The Saudi League is not worse than Ligue 1,” Ronaldo said. The Saudi Pro League is more competitive than Ligue 1, I can say that after a year there. We are already better than the French championship now. They can say whatever they want, I know what I’m saying. It’s my opinion. »
This season, Ronaldo has already scored 20 goals in 18 Saudi Pro League matches.
