Cristiano Ronaldo has confused his French fans after saying a few weeks ago that the level of the Saudi Arabian league is higher than that of Ligue 1. Recently, the legend of football in the Hexagon criticized the Lusitanian.

Franck Lebeouf has slammed Cristiano Ronaldo after he said Saudi Arabia’s Pro League is above Ligue 1

Cristiano Ronaldo has angered supporters at the Hexagon after claiming in an interview that Ligue 1 is inferior to the Saudi Arabian Championship.

The Lusitanian’s statement also greatly worried the former player of France, the winner of the World Cup (1998) and Euro-2000 Franck Lebeuf.

“It annoys me when I hear Cristiano Ronaldo say that the Saudi Professional League is better than Ligue 1. Why do you think he chose to make that comment about Ligue 1 and not the Portuguese league?

Because Lionel Messi played there. I have a lot of respect for him as a player, but come on, shut up! It’s not fair to Ligue 1.” he said, reports the Daily Mail.

In addition, the Frenchman continued his attack on CR7 and noted the conditions under which the Portuguese can repeat the game from EURO 2016.

“For me, Portugal is one of the favorites for the European Championship this summer. In fact, I think he can win the EURO, but only if Ronaldo doesn’t play.

You can’t erase anything Cristiano has done for football just because he retired in Saudi Arabia. I want to thank him for taking the sport to another level, but for everyone there is an end. He has every right to play in Saudi Arabia, although I’m not sure he needs even more money.” – concluded Frank Lebeuf.
