In a social media showdown, Ligue 1 took aim at Cristiano Ronaldo after he claimed the Saudi League was superior to France's top flight. Ronaldo's comments, made while accepting awards in Saudi Arabia, sparked a swift and witty retort from Ligue 1, highlighting Messi's World Cup victory in Qatar's hot weather.
An official Ligue 1 social media account has savagely fired back at Cristiano Ronaldo following his disparaging comments about France's top flight. He collected the Best Middle Eastern Player as well as the Top Goalscorer of All Time awards. ' Saudi League is better than Ligue 1 . France only has PSG. The rest are finished,' he exclaimed. 'Try to sprint in 38, 39, 40 degree weather and see... It is difficult to become champion in Saudi.
'This year Al-Hilal are better, Al-Ittihad are top of the league, but I believe that we have to push hard to be champions. I've been champion everywhere I have and I believe I will be champion .' They referenced the player's own quote, accompanied with a picture of Messi celebrating his World Cup triumph in Qatar, captioned: 'Leo Messi playing in 38 degrees.' Messi inspired Argentina to World Cup glory in 2022 and won the Golden Ball award in the process. Ronaldo has failed to win the World Cup during his stellar career, with Ligue 1's Spanish account clearly poking fun at this.
