Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé has responded to Cristiano Ronaldo's claim that the Saudi Arabian league is far superior to France's Ligue
Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé has responded to Cristiano Ronaldo’s claim that the Saudi Arabian league is far superior to France’s Ligue 1, stating that the only noteworthy club in France is PSG, with little competition among other teams.
Ronaldo said, “The Saudi Pro League is far better than the French Ligue 1. In France, the only competitive club is PSG, which dominates without real challenge.”
The Portuguese captain who currently plays for Saudi side Al Nassr made the shocking comparisons during the Globe Soccer Awards. The football world has rubbished his opinion with many describing his comments as nonsense.
French captain Mbappe who played for Monaco and PSG in an interview said, “Cristiano Ronaldo is entitled to his opinion regarding the leagues.
“I’ve played for PSG, and they are indeed the strongest team in Ligue 1, but I don’t agree that the Saudi Pro League is better.
“It’s not realistic to compare the two. The Saudi league has gained popularity recently, but comparing it to Ligue 1, with its history and structure, doesn’t make sense,” Kylian added.
