Cristiano Ronaldo challenge in the Saudi Professional League

Despite his scoring effectiveness in Saudi Arabia, Cristiano Ronaldo recently admitted that scoring goals in LaLiga was easier than in the Saudi Professional League.

In an interview with Piers Morgan, shared via Fabrizio Romano on X, the Portuguese star explained that the competitive level of the SPL surpasses that of Spain’s top division, a recognition that highlights the difficulty of his new environment.

“For me, it’s easier to score goals in Spain, in LaLiga, than to score in Saudi Arabia.”

Since joining Al-Nassr in January 2023, Cristiano Ronaldo has played 116 matches, scoring 103 goals and providing 21 assists.

Although he has only won the Arab Club Champions Cup, a trophy not officially recognized by FIFA, his influence on the team and leadership abilities keep him firmly in the spotlight.
