Previously, Cristiano Ronaldo was interviewed by the official team of Al Nassr. In the interview, Cristiano Ronaldo praised the competitive level of the Saudi League.
Cristiano Ronaldo said in an interview, "Of course, the Saudi League is still developing, but I believe we are already one of the top five leagues in the world at present." I also believe that the Saudi League will continue to make progress. We have plenty of time because over the past two years, we have already proved to the world that the level of this league has been constantly improving. I'm very happy because I know the competition in the Saudi League is extremely fierce.
Only those who have never played in Saudi Arabia and those who don't understand the game would say that the Saudi League is not one of the top five leagues in the world. I believe one hundred percent what I say, and everyone who plays in this league knows exactly what I'm talking about.
The performance of Al-Hilal in Riyadh directly provided a strong endorsement for Cristiano Ronaldo's viewpoint. At present, Al-Hilal is the only Asian club in this Club World Cup. In this Club World Cup, they have drawn with Real Madrid and Salzburg successively. Today, they defeated Manchester City in extra time and advanced to the quarterfinals with an unbeaten record.
Next, they will face off against the Brazilian team Fluminense.
