Brazilian superstar Neymar has backed Cristiano Ronaldo’s claim that the Saudi Pro League has surpassed France’s Ligue 1 in quality.
Softfootball gathered that Neymar echoed Ronaldo’s recent comments while discussing the growing standard of football in Saudi Arabia, where both stars currently play.
Introducing his assessment, Neymar praised the rapid improvement of the Saudi Pro League while acknowledging the strengths of French football.
The level of the Saudi Pro League is increasing and, from what I see, it’s better than Ligue 1. Ligue 1 has its positives.
The league is very strong. I played in it, so I know this well. Today, the players in the Saudi Pro League are better.
Neymar joined Al-Hilal from Paris Saint-Germain after leaving the French champions despite having time remaining on his contract.
