After his team’s defeat by Celta, Cristiano Ronaldo compared the Saudi League to the MSL, directly alluding to Messi’s decision to go to Inter from Miami instead of one of the clubs from Saudi Arabia.
“The Saudi League is better than the MSL.” said Ronaldo thus raising the dust again about the rivalry between him and Lionel Messi.
One of the football players who reacted to this statement by Christian is the manager of Inter from Miami, Wayne Rooney, who, apart from being a player of the team from Miami, has already come into conflict with his former teammate.
“It is a league that has all the possibilities to become one of the biggest. You can see how the Saudis are trying to sign certain players. So for MLS to get Messi was something incredible.” said the Englishman who wondered: “What better way to show you can compete with the wealth of the Saudis than to get Messi?”
Messi’s arrival in the USA is one of the biggest arrivals of football players in that league, which eliminated Rooney himself and even Zlatan Ibrahimovic from the competition.
