Rúben Dias was invited this Friday to comment on the latest statements of Cristiano Ronaldo, when the captain of the Portuguese national team and the striker of Al Nassr revealed, a few moments after the friendly against Celta, in the Algarve trophy, that he will not return to the Old Continent, because he considers that European football "has already lost a lot of quality".
"Europe? No, that door is completely closed. I'm already 38 and a half years old and it's not worth it. The way I see football, I think Europe has lost a lot of quality. The only league that for me has a lot of quality and that is at a higher level than all the others is the Premier League," Cristiano Ronaldo said last Monday.
Today, in an interview with 'BeIN Sports', the Manchester City centre-back emphasized his opinion on the subject: "Saudi football is sending a message.
I think, actually, nobody knows what might happen in the future.
I believe that we will all have to wait to see how things will develop, but referring to the present I say that football will be more competitive in the Premier League, but also in Europe".
