Harsh Response to Ronaldo's Statements About Saudi and American Leagues

Former American league player Michael Lahoud criticized Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo of Al Nassr for his controversial statements regarding the league. After Al Nassr's 0-5 friendly defeat to Celta Vigo, Ronaldo downplayed the significance of the American league when asked about watching Argentine star Lionel Messi in his new experience with Inter Miami. The Al Nassr forward stated that "the Saudi league is much better than its American counterpart and even surpasses the Dutch and Turkish leagues." In response, Lahoud, who has had a notable career in America with clubs like Chivas USA, Philadelphia Union, and FC Cincinnati, commented, "It seems that Ronaldo smokes shisha a lot. This is a laughable statement, as he claims that in just one year, the Saudi league has become better than the Dutch and Turkish leagues."
