The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup ended with Chelsea winning the deserved championship after defeating PSG 3-0 in the final at Metlife Stadium on the night of July 13. Notably, after the tournament, fans discovered that 3 statements that were considered crazy by C. Ronaldo before had come true.
Premier League is still number one
C. Ronaldo once stated: “European championships have lost a lot of quality, only the Premier League remains at the top level. La Liga, Bundesliga or Serie A have all clearly degraded.”

C.Ronaldo's assessment was reinforced by Chelsea's convincing championship after a convincing 3-0 victory over PSG. In this match, The Blues were rated lower than their opponents but they had reasonable tactics and defeated PSG with three goals in the first half.
Saudi Arabia's national championship (Saudi Pro League) surpasses the US Major League Soccer (MLS)
Last month, C. Ronaldo denied the possibility of playing in the US by stating: “The Saudi Pro League is better than MLS.” Many people believe that this is just CR7’s way of protecting his image after choosing to play in the Middle East. However, the contrasting performances of the two major representatives of Saudi Arabia and the US at the FIFA Club World Cup have proven the 40-year-old superstar’s statement to be correct.
Al Hilal outplayed Inter Miami in the FIFA Club World Cup.
While Al Hilal played brilliantly, defeating Man City in the round of 16, Lionel Messi's Inter Miami was destroyed by PSG 4-0. The mark of the Saudi Arabian representative throughout the tournament was also much clearer than the team from the US.
Ligue 1 has no competition.
For a long time, C. Ronaldo has believed that Ligue 1 (France) is no longer a truly competitive environment. He said: “Ligue 1 only has PSG that is worth mentioning. The rest are not worth mentioning. The Saudi Pro League is clearly superior. Try running on the field in the sun at 38, 39 to 40 degrees Celsius.”

That comment was once considered disrespectful to French teams, but the recent achievements of clubs in this country have made many people think. Only PSG really exploded when winning the Champions League and reaching the final of the FIFA Club World Cup. Meanwhile, the remaining French clubs are very dim in the international arena. Not to mention the big team Lyon almost got relegated due to the financial crisis and had to sell their best stars to survive.
