Ronaldo incurs wrath after saying Saudi Pro League is better than Portuguese and Ligue 1

The former Manchester United star is currently plying his trade for Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr and has hyped up the league.

Since joining the club, he had been the best player, becoming the club's fourth-highest goal scorer in their history.

He has scored 108 goals in 121 appearances, won one trophy, and set the Saudi Pro League's single-season scoring record.

During a one-on-one discussion with Piers Morgan on his YouTube podcast, Ronaldo made a statement that got fans talking.

Ronaldo said, “Saudi Pro League is better than the Portuguese league and better than Ligue 1, it's only PSG."

He continued, "Why don't they count Saudi Pro League goals and assists for the golden ball? It's all excuses."

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has always claimed that the French Ligue 1 is not on the same standard as the Saudi Pro League.

However, this time, he added the Portuguese League to the list of clubs not better than the SPL.

His comment got a lot of reactions from fans with one saying, "CR7 calling Saudi Pro League better… next he’ll say Monopoly is more competitive than La Liga."

Another one said, "I also want the goals I scored in my backyard to be considered for golden boot."

One fan commented, "Al nassr would get relegated in both those leagues. Pipe down😭😭😭"

Another fan wrote, "Bro would say Saudi is tougher than the Premier League if they doubled his bonus."

Despite kicking off his career in Portugal, Ronaldo still rates his current league higher than his country’s football league.
