Cristiano Ronaldo was speaking to the media after playing the first half of Al Nassr's 5-0 preseason loss to LaLiga side Celta Vigo in his native Portugal.
About future
'I won't return to European football, the door is completely closed,' Ronaldo said. '...I'm 38 years old, also European football has lost a lot of quality...only valid one is Premier League, they're way ahead of all the other leagues.'
'The Spanish league does not have that great quality. The Portuguese league is a good league, but it is not a top, top league. The German league I think has also lost a lot. I'm sure I won't play in Europe again. I want to play in Saudi Arabia.'
About Saudi PL & MLS
'In one year, more and more top players will come to Saudi,' the Portuguese superstar continued. 'In a year the Saudi league will overtake the Turkish league and Dutch league.
'Players who arrived aren't like what the president of the European Union said. Jota and Neves are young players.'
'I think Saudi league is better than MLS.'
'I'm 100 percent sure I won't return to any European club. I opened the way to Saudi league...and now all the players are coming here.'
'When I joined Juventus, Serie A was dead and then after I signed… it was revived.'
'Where Cristiano goes, it generates greater interest and I knew it was going to be like that. I'm sure that next season more stars will go there [to Saudi Arabia].'

Honestly ronaldo is only say Saudi league is better than MLS just cuz messi arrived there and wants to get the attention to his league and not to the MLS. He wants to be the reason Saudi league grows and other leagues shrink. The guy acts like the world revolves around him

Have u guys heard Messi throw any jabb at CR7? This guy needs to be secured,life does not evolve around him. one of the smallest Spanish team just trash them 5-0 and he his here ranting. I use to be his fan,but truth be told, Messi is the real 🐐. He just want to enjoy his life with his family,and yet someone is still been threatened.

This is probably one of reasons why Ronaldo felt threatened and needed to include MLS.

this guy doesn't even know what he is talking about first of all the league he is in is ranked 66 and mls is 16 so stfu , and about him opening players to Saudi league then let me be clear that everyone knows that footballers past their prime are going to the Saudi league so that they can retire with a huge bag of money to last their lifetime and that was sole purpose of him in the first place to go there and even because no club wanted him and him reviving the serie A man these Ronaldo fans say that Messi went to the farmers league to win easy trophies but what no one talked about was that serie A was won by a single team for the past 7 years by the same team he joined and serie A never needed Ronaldo to revive it it was always a good league

then why didn't he stayed at Barca with minimum wage, it was his home. wake up no one plays for fun these days
My friend, he couldn't stay the first time. In Spain u can't reduce more than 50% of the previous salary and Barca at that stage couldn't afford him. He literally couldn't stay. Even this time , Laporta couldn't guarantee it so he chose Miami.

Guys truth be told Messi also played for money despite his love for football do you know why??? Okay let me tell you he has family he is taking care of. BUT HE IS NOT A GREEDY PLAYER WHO WANTS TO BE THE NUMBER (1) ONE FOOTBALL PLAYER IN THE WORLD. On like Ronaldo who always talked about Messi, club or league any time he on live stream. And for those of you saying Ronaldo has record Messi can not break even in next life. You guys should go and tell your cr7 should stop crying and make sure he wins the World Cup and be 7 times ballon dior winner because he is about to add one more few months from now my GOAT M🐐E🐐S🐐S🐐I

Bruh y’all don’t follow football Messi didn’t stay because Barcelona is still in a financial crisis and Messi going there would have made it a bigger burden, yes everyone play for some money but Messi is not obsessed with being number 1 like Ronald, you’ll never hear Messi talking about Ronaldo’s team or the league he plays think bruh think

visitors 😂😂😂. if you know the kind endorsement leo signed with MLS you won't be talking. Bros will be earning huge amount of money in MLS for a very long time. it's all about money so forget it.

I don't know what y'all think, but this guy is really egoistic.
we come to see facts about soccer,point out where he lied, DSTV dedicated Chanel 205 to Serie A after Ronaldo joined Juventus,Madrid won back to back UEFA champions League in his regime,laliga had many fans when he joined Madrid and when he left its struggling to be fair,he came back to premier League and couldn't handle demands,he went to Saudi league and all of sudden all players are going there,don't forget this is the most followed person on twitter, Instagram, Facebook and all social,he has over 500m followers,he is a brand, everywhere he goes they follow

The only reason there is a fight between Messi and ronaldo fans is because of the ego ur goat and his fans have
