Cristiano Ronaldo, the iconic striker for Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr, has once again ignited debate over the global football hierarchy. In a recent, high-profile interview with Piers Morgan, the Portuguese superstar did not hold back in his assessment, making a bold claim that places the Saudi Pro League above established European competitions.

Ronaldo asserted that the current quality of football in Saudi Arabia has not only surpassed that of his native Portuguese league but has also eclipsed France's Ligue 1.

He distilled his argument to a pointed critique of the French top flight, stating, "The Saudi league is much better than the Portuguese league, and even better than Ligue 1—since, essentially, there's only PSG there." This provocative comparison is sure to draw reactions from fans and pundits across the football world.
