Cristiano Ronaldo selects the best league in Europe
Cristiano Ronaldo seems to have ended the debate that has lasted for a long time among football fans around the world by picking the best league in Europe.
The former Manchester United player was speaking in an interview where he was asked if there is a possibility that he returns to Europe before calling it quits on the game. Cristiano said age is not on his side again and besides the level of quality in Europe has dropped.
"I won't return to European football, the door is completely closed. I am 38 years old, also European football has lost a lot of quality… only valid one is the Premier League, they're way ahead of all the other leagues."
He also said the Saudi Arabia professional league is better than the MLS which is the home of his rival, Lionel Messi.
"Saudi league is better than MLS. I am 100% sure I won't return to any European club. I opened the way to Saudi league and now all the players are coming here."
