Cristiano Ronaldo continues to voice strong opinions about France's Ligue 1 during interviews. The Portuguese star, formerly of Real Madrid, recently targeted the French championship once more.
In a detailed interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo expressed that Ligue 1 revolves predominantly around Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). He stated:
"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 added:
"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."
This is yet another example of Ronaldo’s candid and provocative remarks about global football leagues.
