‘Keep blabbering you finished player’ – Fans tear down Cristiano Ronaldo for his ‘I opened the way to Saudi league’ statement

Portugal football player Cristiano Ronaldo has claimed that Saudi League is better than the Major League Soccer in the US. Notably, his biggest rival, and FIFA World Cup 2022 winning skipper, Lionel Messi recently signed with Inter Miami. The Portuguese’s statement is allegedly seen as a dig at the Argentina skipper
“The Saudi league is better than MLS,” Ronaldo told reporters after Al Nassr’s 5-0 preseason loss to LaLiga side Celta Vigo in his native Portugal.
Ronaldo, joined the AL Nassr side in January this year. This created a social media furor from the fans. He did so after being terminated by Manchester United ahead of the FIFA World Cup last year.
In this transfer window several high-profile players have followed Ronaldo’s lead, with Karim Benzema, Marcelo Brozovic, N’Golo Kante, Roberto Firmino, Edouard Mendy, and Kalidou Koulibaly all signing deals to play in the Saudi Pro League.
“They criticized me for coming to Saudi League, but what happened now?
“I opened the way to the Saudi league, and now all the players are coming here,” he said.
“My decision to join Saudi clubs was 100% crucial to bring in new top players. It’s a fact.
“In one year, more & more top players will come to Saudi,” said Ronaldo.
“In a year Saudi league will overtake the Turkish league and Dutch league.”
“Players who arrived aren’t like what the president of the European Union said”.
“Jota & Ruben Neves are young players”.
I won’t return to any European club: Cristiano Ronaldo
The 38-year-old further took a dig at the European Leagues. He claimed that the level of the game has gone down and only Premier League is doing good.
“I’m 100 percent sure I won’t return to any European club,” Ronaldo said.
“I’m 38 years old. And European football has lost a lot of quality. The only valid one and still doing good is the Premier League. They’re way ahead of all the other leagues.”
“When I joined Juventus, Serie A was dead and then after I signed… it was revived. Wherever Cristiano goes he generates higher interest”.
This is how Twitter reacted

Still trying to compete with Lionel Messi. The consistent struggles trying to prove to the whole world that "I'm Better Than Lionel Messi" is becoming really boring. Let it go CR7. Aboubakar and Ighalo has been tearing down Saudi before you.. Messi doesn't even reply back! 😭

LMFAOOOOOOOOOO no way he cares that much about Leo man…
Difference is that when a big player joins Saudi, they get forgotten about instead of actually bringing more eyes to the league. Like with Benzema, we are going to forget about him, not watch him.

Never seen such arrogance before, bro really thinks those players would’ve gone there if they weren’t given that amount of life changing money😭

But the money was there before Ronaldo joined ? Ronaldo joins and
sets the Saudi league alight. So it’s because of him basically but yeah haters will hate— Janty (@CFC_Janty) July 18, 2023

![Cristiano Ronaldo](https://wolf777news.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/image_2024_03_03T12_44_29_695Z.png)
Georgina Rodriguez made a huge claim on the future of her husband and star player, Cristiano Ronaldo, in Football. In a brief interaction with a host recently, Rodriguez was asked about the time left for Cristiano to make an impact at the highest level. Georgina looked honest in her approach to the question of the host and claimed something the fans would not love to hear.
Georgina claimed that the Portugal star has maybe one year more from him at the highest level. She felt that Ronaldo might play two more years before retiring and not more than that. She was however not sure if he would play for just one or two years and added that the Al Nassr star could also play more than that.

“Cristiano one more year, then it’s over. Maybe two, I don’t know,” said Rodriguez in the little chat she had with the host. The video has gone viral on X and the fans have started sharing it on different platforms. Some of the fans feel that Georgina might be right, while others feel that she could be wrong, given the fitness and longevity of the star player.
Legacy of Cristiano Ronaldo
On the 5th of February, Ronaldo celebrated his 39th birthday. He is currently one of the oldest players in the world. In the past, players at this age would have retired way back. But the fitness and consistency of Ronaldo make him play the sport as long as he wishes. In his career so far, Ronaldo has won many major leagues for Portugal and league teams like Real Madrid, Al Nassr, and Manchester United.
With United, Portugal won some major leagues like the FA Cup and the Champions League. With Real Madrid, the 39-year-old won the leagues like the UCL, Copa Del Rey and La Liga. He won it three consecutive times for Real Madrid. For Portugal, Cristiano had a huge contribution to Portugal. He has the most number of appearances and goals for an international team and won the Euro 2016 with Portugal.

Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham slapped with Red Card as he argued with referee
![Jude Bellingham shown Red Card](https://wolf777news.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Jude-Bellingham-shown-Red-Card.jpg)
England and Real Madrid player Jude Bellingham was slapped with a Red Card during the La Liga game against Valencia. In the game, the home team, Valencia was leading by 2-0 after 30 minutes before Madrid scored in the injury time of the first half. Vinicius Junior opened the scoring for Madrid while Hugo Duro (27′) and Roman Yaremchuk (30′) scored a goal each.
In the 76th minute, Junior scored an equalizer to keep the team in the game. However, in the injury time of the second half, Bellingham was given a red card as he argued with the referee against calling it a full-time before he could score. In reply, the match official decided to slap the England international with a Red Card. The team coach Carlo Ancelotti wasn’t happy with the verdict as the Three Lions player was making a pass at the time.
Jude Bellingham verbally abusing officials and other footballers at the slightest provocation needs to be talked about more. It’s embarrassing he gets applauded by Real Madrid Fans.
Mason Greenwood should’ve allowed La Liga to deal with this simp. pic.twitter.com/ixYSw6YxaC

“I think what’s just happened is unprecedented. It’s never happened to me,” Ancelotti told reporters.
“We had possession of the ball and the match should have been finished when Valencia had the ball.
“What bothers us is the red card for Bellingham because he didn’t say anything insulting. He was frustrated of course,” said Ancelotti, adding that Bellingham had used a common English swearword when telling the referee it was a goal.
We are annoyed with Jude Bellingham’s Red Card: Carlo Ancelotti
“We were annoyed with Bellingham’s red card. He didn’t say any insults. He said in English ‘it’s a f—ing goal,’ but he was just saying what we were all thinking … [The referee] allowed play to continue. I think he made a mistake.”
“[Bellingham] was clear in what he said,” Ancelotti added. “He was quite vehement [in his reaction] but that’s normal, after what happened. It wasn’t an insult, not at all.”
