So! Even if they're not playing in the same league and competing for same honors, it seems the RIVALRY between Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentina's Lionel Messi isn't ending anytime soon.
Ronaldo recently stirred the hornets nest when he publicly stated that the "Saudi Pro League", where he currently plays in for Al Nassr is much more valuable and stronger than the MLS where Lionel Messi currently plies his trade in with Inter Miami.On paper, the chart above indicates that the Saudi Pro League have more expensive players, with the most valuable player "Sergei Milinkovic Savic" being valued at €50 million euros, while the MLS's most valuable player is Lionel Messi himself at €35 million euros.
Although the Saudi Pro League have bigger and more established names compared to the MLS, but is CR7 right in his claims or is it just for bragging rights?
