The former Real Madrid, Manchester United and Juventus forward, who is currently on international duty with Portugal, has compared the SPL with the Premier League.
Ronaldo said the two leagues are not of the same level but claimed that he has been surprised by his experience in Saudi Arabia.
“Saudi League is not the Premier League, I am not going to lie. But it’s a league that has left me positively surprised.
“It can become a very big league because of how much they want to keep improving,” Ronaldo told reporters in Portugal.
