The press service of Ligue 1 reacted to the comments made by Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo of Al-Nassr, who compared playing in the leagues of France and Saudi Arabia.

Previously, the Portuguese claimed that it is harder to play in Saudi Arabia due to the extremely high temperatures in the country.

In response to these words, the official Spanish account of Ligue 1 posted photo of Lionel Messi’s victory at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar with the following caption:
