Cristiano Ronaldo Criticizes Ligue 1, Claims Saudi Pro League is Superior
Dubai, December 2024 – At the recent Globe Soccer Awards, Cristiano Ronaldo made waves with his bold statements comparing the Saudi Pro League and Ligue 1, declaring the former superior.
Ronaldo’s striking claims at the Globe Soccer Awards
During the prestigious event in Dubai, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner **didn’t hold back** on his opinions. While discussing several topics, including his thoughts on the Ballon d’Or and a potential role at Manchester United, **Ronaldo’s most controversial comment** was regarding the leagues’ quality.
**”The Saudi Pro League is certainly better than Ligue 1,” Ronaldo asserted.** “I’m not saying this just because I play here. The conditions challenge players—try sprinting in extreme heat of 38, 39, or even 40 degrees.”
**He invited skeptics to see for themselves**, emphasizing that in France, “only PSG stands out, while the rest are diminished.”
Ronaldo’s ongoing critique of Ligue 1
This isn’t Ronaldo’s first critique of Ligue 1. Back in January, he remarked on the **competitive nature of the Saudi league** compared to France’s top division. He noted, “Honestly, I believe the Saudi championship is not inferior to the French league. In France, there are, in my opinion, just two or three quality teams. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia’s league has become more competitive.”
**Ronaldo emphasized his experience**, stating, “Having played here for a year, I can confidently say we’re surpassing Ligue 1 in quality and continuing to improve.”
**Such statements are sure to stir reactions** among fans of Ligue 1, especially those supporting teams other than PSG.
