In recent days, Cristiano Ronaldo has been openly critical of Ligue 1, without a clear reason. The league has responded in kind.
However, the French league has an interesting retort for Ronaldo’s comments. Responding on Twitter, the official Ligue 1 account posted a picture of Lionel Messi with the caption: “About Ligue 1, the opinion of the greatest player of all time,” accompanied by a GOAT (Greatest of All Time) emoji.
Ronaldo had earlier criticized the level of play in Ligue 1, suggesting that the Saudi Pro League, where he currently plays for Al Nassr, is of a higher standard. The French league’s response brings attention to Messi, who had previously spoken favorably of Ligue 1, emphasizing its physical nature and competitive matches.
The tweet and the Messi quote serve as a subtle and humorous comeback to Ronaldo’s critique of Ligue 1.
