Cristiano criticized MLS, here's what Messi said about Saudi Arabia's Pro League

In the last few months the world soccer map has completely changed. For decades the major European leagues (mainly England, Italy, Spain, Germany and France) dominated the sport, but Saudi Arabia and the United States decided to enter the discussion.

Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival at Al-Nassr shocked everyone, as he is one of the greatest players of all time and throughout his career had always played for European clubs. His path was followed by other stars, such as Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kanté, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane, Jordan Henderson, Riyad Mahrez and Neymar.

And something similar may happen in Major League Soccer. Lionel Messi joined Inter Miami in July and since then The Herons have also signed Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. In addition, Luis Suarez will join in 2024 and along with him it is rumored that other players such as Ivan Rakitic, Sergi Roberto, Luka Modric and David De Gea could arrive.

This started a debate about which league is better, MLS or the Pro League. Some time ago, Cristiano Ronaldo was asked about this and did not hesitate to answer: "I think the Saudi Arabian championship is much better than the United States". And he even assured that his new league was superior to most European tournaments.

Leo's opinion

Lionel Messi spoke about this recently, in an interview that Time magazine conducted with him after choosing him as the athlete of the year. There, the Argentine forward revealed: "It is true that I was thinking a lot about going to the Saudi league, where I know the country and they have created a very powerful competition that can become an important league in the near future. As the country's tourism ambassador, it was a destination that attracted me, especially because I've enjoyed everything I have visited, because of how football is growing in the country and because of the effort they are putting into creating a top competition."
