Neymar has echoed Cristiano Ronaldo's sentiments that the Saudi Arabian Pro League has overtaken Ligue 1 in terms of quality. Speaking in an interview with CNN, Neymar said, "I agree with Cristiano. I think the Saudi League is better than Ligue 1 today." Neymar's comments come after similar remarks from Ronaldo, who currently plays for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Arabian Pro League, at the Globe Soccer Awards. Ronaldo claimed that the Saudi Pro League is better than Ligue 1, citing the league's difficult climate and competitive nature. While Neymar acknowledged Ligue 1's strengths, calling it a "very high-level championship," he also acknowledged Saudi Arabia's increasing quality, stating that the "Saudi level is rising, the players are good." His initial comments stirred discussion, with some criticizing his claim of inferiority however, Neymar's endorsement of his opinions adds weight to the argument that it is rapidly improving.
