Ligue 1: Cristiano Ronaldo goes on the attack again

Clearly, it’s become a recurring offensive every time the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo gives an interview. The former Real Madrid icon has once again taken aim at France’s Ligue 1.

Recently, Cristiano Ronaldo sat down for a lengthy interview with Piers Morgan. And once again, CR7 didn’t hold back, delivering another jab at Ligue 1. In his view, the French championship is all about PSG. "The Saudi Pro League is much better than the Portuguese league and Ligue 1, where there’s only PSG. I’ve played everywhere. For me, it’s easier to score in La Liga than in the Saudi Pro League," he said.

He continued: "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."
