AC Milan’s sporting director, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, has said he “won’t waste my time” in response to Cristiano Ronaldo’s comments comparing Ligue 1 with the Saudi Pro League.
Ronaldo has played in Portugal, England, Spain, Italy and Saudi Arabia.
Speaking at the Globe Soccer Awards, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo said: “The Saudi Pro League is better than Ligue 1, of course.
“In France, they only have PSG, everyone else is finished. Nobody can beat them because they have the most money and the best players.”
Ibrahimovic played for four seasons at PSG and scored 156 goals for the French champions.
Reacting to Ronaldo’s comments, he said: “There is nothing to answer – you can’t debate something when there is no evidence for one side.
“PSG is one of the great clubs of Europe in a very good league. Maybe only Spain and England can for sure say they are a superior league.
“I can’t even reply to a suggestion that the Saudi League is superior – I wont even waste my time.”
