Marez Ronaldo's opinion: the league is growing

Al-Ahli's forward Riyad Mahrez, who joined from Manchester City in 2023, responded to a statement made by his teammate Cristiano Ronaldo. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

Ronaldo previously emphasized that the Saudi Professional League is stronger than France's Ligue 1. He stated that in his opinion, the Saudi league is only strong because of the "PSG" team in France.

However, Mahrez expressed his disagreement with this opinion, highlighting that the Saudi championship still has many opportunities for development, but the pace of the league's progress is significant. He said: "I do not agree with his opinion.

Currently, Europe's top five leagues are still ahead, and the Saudi league is getting closer to their level. In the future, our league could become one of the best leagues in the world.

Players like me are choosing this path and contributing to the development of the championship. I see significant growth in teams, coaches, tactics, and organizational levels over the past two seasons.

Strong efforts are being made here, and I believe the league will become strong." Mahrez's current contract with Al-Ahli is set to last until June 2027.
