Cristiano Ronaldo dropped a pike last Monday at Lionel Messi, after the latter joined Inter Miami in MLS.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will undoubtedly be the two players who have generated the most comparisons possible in football history. If for some, the Portuguese is the best player, for others, the Argentinian comes first. Between the two protagonists also, it is not always the perfect love.
Last Monday, the Portuguese striker made a statement about his biggest rival. On the sidelines of a pre-season match with Al-Nassr, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner felt that he is playing in a higher league than Lionel Messi, who has chosen to join the United States.
“The Saudi League is better than MLS”said Ronaldo.
