The Senegal international reacted after Cristiano Ronaldo caused a big controversy with his comments about the Saudi Pro League and Ligue 1.
Cristiano Ronaldo shocked the world with his answer that created a lot of controversy in Dubai when asked about the qualifications of the Saudi Pro League . “ Current level? Honestly? In my opinion, the Saudi Arabian National League (SPL) is no worse than the French National League. And the French National Championship, I think it’s…you have only 2, 3 teams with a good level. I think SPL is more competitive “, commented the midfielder of Al Nassr.
In response to CR7 ‘s words , Ligue 1 fans reacted on social networks by posting many pictures of Lionel Messi and M10’s views on the French National Championship in a previous interview with France Football.
Messi once asserted: ” Ligue 1 is a physical championship, much more than La Liga. Teams seem to be more physical and matches become more difficult. Ligue 1 teams play tightly, leaving little space. The players are very strong .”
Sadio Mane used to play football in Ligue 1 for Metz.
On the other hand, Sadio Mane defended Cristiano Ronaldo’s opinion. “ Fortunately, I can say SPL is a very good tournament and is followed by people all over the world. So for me, as long as I’m doing my best and enjoying every minute, that’s more important. The rest, for me, doesn’t matter “.
The Senegal international has experience in the Premier League (Southampton, Liverpool), Bundesliga (Bayern Munich) and Ligue 1 (Metz). At this time, he is joining the Senegal national team, competing at the African Cup of Nations (AFCON). Through 2 group stage matches, “Teranga Lions” lead Group C with 6 absolute points .
