At the beginning of 2025, it will be exactly two years since one of the best soccer players of all time, Cristiano Ronaldo, played in Saudi Arabia.
The legendary Portuguese "pulled" many other football stars with him, the Pro League has become a boom in the world, but it seems that it still does not attract as much interest around the planet as expected.
In any case, Ronaldo believes that it is currently stronger than the top five European championships.
"The Pro League is stronger than Ligue 1, of course. The French championship has only Paris Saint-Germain. Try to catch a sprint in 39 or 40 degrees Celsius and you will see," Ronaldo said at the "Dubai International Sports Conference".
In any case, a great career is coming to an end, so Ronaldo is slowly thinking about what to do after it.
"Will I be a coach or a manager? No, but the owner of a club maybe," says Ronaldo.
He also touched two clubs in Europe where he became a legend - Manchester United, with whom he did not part ways the second time under the best of circumstances, as well as Real Madrid.
"I love United and I wish them all the best... The problem in recent years is not the coaches, but he is much different".
When it comes to the royal club, which did not have the best start to the new season, but quickly overtook Barcelona in the standings, Ronaldo says.
"You don't expect Real to be first at the beginning, but that happens at the end of the season. In any case, they are already ahead of Barcelona".
