Cristiano Ronaldo boldly claims Saudi's Pro League could become the 'FOURTH most competitive in the world' as the Portugal star admits he has been 'positively surprised' by its level since joining Al-Nassr

Cristiano Ronaldo said he has been surprised by the level of competitiveness in the Saudi Pro League since joining Al Nassr in January.

Ronaldo headed to Saudi after his acrimonious split with Manchester United back in November, when he left the club by mutual consent after his explosive tell-all interview with Piers Morgan.

Since signing a £175million-a-year contract with Al-Nassr, the 38-year-old has scored nine goals in 10 appearances for the club, including two hat-tricks.

Though while many have questioned its quality, Ronaldo believes Saudi's Pro League could one day be one of the top five in the world in terms of competitiveness.
