Ibrahimovic Dismisses Ronaldo's Saudi League Claims

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has dismissed Cristiano Ronaldo's assertion that the Saudi Pro League is superior to Ligue 1, calling the comparison baseless and unworthy of discussion. At the Globe Soccer Awards, Ronaldo claimed the Saudi league's quality is evident and emphasized that Paris Saint-Germain is the only notable team in France. Ibrahimovic, a former PSG star, countered that PSG is a top club in a strong league, asserting that only Spain and England can confidently claim superiority over Ligue 1. He stated, 'You can’t debate something when there is no evidence for one side,' and expressed his unwillingness to engage further. While Neymar, another former PSG player, acknowledged the improving quality of the Saudi league, he still recognized Ligue 1's strengths. This ongoing debate highlights the contrasting perceptions of league quality amid a shifting landscape in global football.
