Cristiano Ronaldo Says 'Saudi League Is Better Than MLS' amid Lionel Messi Transfer

Don't expect Cristiano Ronaldo to be joining Lionel Messi any time soon.

"The Saudi league is better than MLS," Ronaldo told reporters. "I opened the way to the Saudi league, and now all the players are coming here."

Ronaldo joined Al Nassr of the Saudi Pro League in January following the end of his second stint with Manchester United.

While the quality of the MLS compared to the Saudi Pro League may be up for debate depending on who one asks, the striker is not wrong about a number of notable players following him.
