Cristiano Ronaldo 'has a lot of ego,' says former PSG defender Laure Boulleau

Cristiano Ronaldo earlier stated Saudi Pro League is better than Ligue 1

Cristiano Ronaldo has come under fire from former Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) defender Laure Boulleau for remarks he made regarding Ligue 1.

She argues that the matches in the Saudi Pro League aren’t much better compared to those in the French top division and that his remarks were motivated by his ego.

When Boulleau spoke on Canal Football Club on Canal+, he questioned Ronaldo’s selection of the French League above other leagues. She questioned whether it had anything to do with Lionel Messi’s competition and his two years of play at PSG. Says she:

“I was really surprised by his communication. Why tackle Ligue 1? Because Lionel Messi played here? I asked myself the question, why he mentioned Ligue 1 and not other championships? I already think it’s not his level to say that.”I think he played in plenty of other championships, except this one, so I think it sucks. It’s not the championship he knows best.”

“Frankly, we watch the Saudi Pro League matches, and I honestly think that’s not true. I think it’s a phrase of communication, of pride. He has a lot of ego. But that doesn’t stop me from liking Cristiano Ronaldo a lot, but I don’t like these kinds of statements at all.”

PSG was connected to Cristiano Ronaldo twice, but the French team decided against moving forward. According to reports, they had intended to sign Ronaldo in 2021 but decided against it again after the Portuguese player left Manchester United in 2022.

Earlier this month at the Globe Soccer Awards, Cristiano Ronaldo shocked the audience by asserting that the Saudi Pro League was comparable to Ligue 1. He asserted that there was greater competition among the Middle Eastern league teams.
