Cristiano Ronaldo: It is much easier to score goals in La Liga than in Saudi Arabia. If I am in a strong Premier League team, I can still score 25 goals a year.

Well-known host Morgan interviewed Ronaldo for the first time in three years. Today he released the second part of the interview. In this part, Ronaldo compared the differences between playing in Saudi Arabia and other leagues.

Morgan: Scoring is the ultimate answer to all criticism, right? I mean, if you're a striker, just keep your scoring efficiency - like I said, they can question it. They can point to the Saudi league and say it's all an excuse, but looking at your performance in the Portuguese national team, it's absolutely impeccable.

C Ronaldo: Excuses, these are all excuses. Year after year my number of goals continues to increase, I scored 25 goals last season. If I were to play in a top team in the Premier League now, I would still be able to score so many goals.

Morgan: You scored 18 goals in the last full Premier League season, right? I remember there was only one less than Harry Kane, and he still scored 6 goals in the Champions League. Any team will be clamoring for you.

C Ronaldo: I don’t need to say anything more at all, because the data doesn’t lie. They can talk about the Saudi league, but those people have never been here, never played football here, and have no idea what it feels like to run in 40-degree temperatures.

The Saudi league is of course much stronger than the Portuguese Super League. In Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain is worth mentioning. The Premier League is indeed the top league. But these goals should be included in the statistics - including the competition for the Golden Boot and Ballon d'Or awards. Why not count the goals from the Saudi League?

How many top players do you think there are in the Saudi league now? Go ask other players for their opinions. If you really want to know about league level, don't just ask me - it's easiest to ask me because I will always give the same answer. Am I saying that because they actually played here? No, listen: I've played all over the world. It's much easier for me to score goals in Spain than in Saudi Arabia.
