Cristiano Ronaldo: “The Saudi Championship is more competitive than League 1”

Over the last year, Saudi Arabia has attracted famous names in European football.

One by one, Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Neymar and many others followed the path of Saudi Arabia, and the championship won both in terms of quality and popularity.

It’s been a year since Cristiano Ronaldo chose to play for Al-Nassr after his controversial departure from Manchester United, and the Lusitanian has made some statements that are sure to upset the players in the French league.

“About the Saudi League being more competitive than League 1, I can say that after spending a year here, I am 100% sure.

At the moment, we have finished the French championship.

I am very happy at Al-Nassr, the club is in a wonderful process of growth. We will reach the highest level.

The Saudi Arabian Championship will enter the top 3 leagues in the world. So people here will definitely feel proud.

I was the top scorer this year, at the age of almost 39, animals like Haaland, I am very proud!

What if I plan to retire? When I feel like I can’t do it anymore, I will retire. Probably in 10 years.” – Cristiano Ronaldo was amused.
