Ligue 1: Cristiano Ronaldo goes on the attack again
Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, known for speaking his mind, launched another critique toward France’s Ligue 1 during a recent interview with Piers Morgan. The former Real Madrid forward repeated his belief that the league lacks depth beyond one dominant club.
"The Saudi Pro League is much better than the Portuguese league and Ligue 1, where there’s only PSG. For me, it’s easier to score in La Liga than in the Saudi Pro League," he said.
Ronaldo clarified his opinion by emphasizing the level of competition and physical demands faced in Saudi Arabia compared to Europe.
"They can say whatever they want, but the numbers don’t lie. They’ve never played in the Saudi Pro League. They don’t know what it’s like to run under 40°C heat. Just look at the number of top-level players we have in the league. If I were playing right now for a big Premier League team, I’d still be scoring just as many goals."
Once again, his comments have sparked debate among fans and analysts about the level of global competitiveness in modern football.
