Cristiano Ronaldo recently has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. The Al Nassr star pointed out that the Saudi League is better than the Ligue 1. The comments have made fans and organizers of the cash-rich league happy. However, a PSG legend has trolled the Portuguese forward for making comments by highlighting the name of Lionel Messi.

The comments by the Ligue 1 giants legend are surely going to spread like fire on social media. Let’s take a deep dive into why such a huge statement was made against the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.

Cristiano Ronaldo is starting to feel the heat for his Ligue 1 comments

The Al Nassr star won three awards, including the Diego Maradona Award for the best goal scorer. However, rather than the fans celebrating his win in Dubai, he has found himself in a problem with his statement. He claimed that the Saudi League is doing well and is better than Ligue 1. His statement went viral, following which PSG legend Laure Boulleau hit back at the 38-year-old. She said, “I was surprised by his communication. Why attack Ligue 1? Because Lionel Messi played here? I asked myself why he mentioned Ligue 1 and not other leagues. It’s out of character for him to say that. I think he’s played in plenty of other leagues, except this one, so I think it’s a bit lame.”
