Ronaldo criticizes the tournament with Messi, declares he will not return to European club

"The Saudi Arabian league is better than the American one. 100% like that. That's the reality," Daily Mail quoted Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese superstar is currently playing for Al Nassr in the Saudi Arabian league. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi has just joined Inter Miami in the US.

The 38-year-old striker believes he is the key to increasing the appeal of the Saudi Arabian league. Clubs in the West Asian country have continuously recruited stars from Europe such as Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante. A number of players in their prime have also moved to Saudi Arabia.

Ronaldo confirmed that he will not return to play in European national championships.

"Within a year, there will be many top players coming to Saudi Arabia. This league will surpass Türkiye and the Netherlands. I thought it would take a whole year, but it was only six months.

I knew it would happen. When I arrived in Italy, the league collapsed. Cristiano came and created a sensation. I knew it would happen. I paved the way to the Saudi Arabian league and now all the other players are coming here," said the Portuguese superstar.

Ronaldo also confirmed that he will not return to play in European leagues. He has just played for Al Nassr for half a season and has not won any titles with the Saudi Arabian team. However, Ronaldo still wants to conquer the challenge here.

"I can say 100% that I will not return to play for a European club. I will not return to Europe. That door is completely closed.

I am 38 years old. European football is of very high quality. The only league that is superior to all is the Premier League. The Spanish league is not of such quality. I think the German league has also declined a lot. I will definitely not return to Europe. I want to play football in Saudi Arabia," Ronaldo said.
