Ligue 1\u2019s official social media account sharply responded to Cristiano Ronaldo\u2019s recent comments about French football, sparking a viral reaction online.<\/p>\n
On Friday, during the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, Ronaldo received two major individual honors: Best Middle Eastern Player and Top Goalscorer of All Time.<\/p>\n
During the event, the 39-year-old also shared his opinions on various topics, including his former club, Manchester United, and this season\u2019s Champions League.<\/p>\n
However, it was his critical remarks about Ligue 1 that caught attention. Ronaldo, now in his third season with Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, claimed that the Saudi league is superior to Ligue 1, suggesting that the French league only has Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to offer.<\/p>\n
He stated, \u201cSaudi League is better than Ligue 1. France only has PSG. The rest are finished,\u201d before commenting on the challenge of winning in Saudi Arabia due to the extreme heat.<\/p>\n
In response, Ligue 1\u2019s official Spanish account on X (formerly Twitter) wasted no time in retaliating with a cheeky post. They shared an image of Lionel Messi celebrating his 2022 World Cup victory, along with the caption: \u201cLeo Messi playing in 38 degrees.\u201d<\/p>\n
This was a direct reference to Messi\u2019s World Cup triumph, highlighting his achievement in extreme conditions, and subtly mocking Ronaldo\u2019s failure to secure a World Cup title. The post quickly went viral, further intensifying the rivalry between the two football stars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
