Thursday, January 09, 2025 - Brazilian superstar, Neymar has backed Cristiano Ronaldo's earlier comments about the Saudi Pro League (SPL) being more competitive than France's Ligue 1.
Ronaldo made the statements at the Globe Soccer Awards in
December, sparking widespread debates.
Neymar, who joined Al Hilal in 2023 has now backed Cristiano
Ronaldo's statement that Saudi Pro League (SPL) is more competitive than
France's Ligue 1.
Speaking to CNN Sports, Neymar agreed with Ronaldo's
claims, drawing from his own experiences since joining Al Hilal in 2023.
"I agree with Cristiano. Today, I think the Saudi
League is above Ligue 1...The level of the Saudi Pro League is increasing, and
from what I see, it's better than Ligue 1. Ligue 1 has its positives—it's a
strong league, and I know this well, having played there. But today, the
players in the Saudi Pro League are better," Neymar said.
During his time in France, Neymar played 173 matches,
scoring 118 goals and providing 77 assists. He also helped PSG secure 14
trophies, becoming one of the league's standout players.

informed him that he was not part of new manager Luis Enrique's plans.
