• Ronaldo had claimed that the Saudi Pro League was better than the Major League Soccer
• Messi recently joined Inter Miami and was unveiled by the MLS side on Sunday to their fans

Cristiano Ronaldo was attacked on Twitter by Lionel Messi fans after the five-time Ballon d'Or winner recently criticised the Major League Soccer in an interview.

The 38-year-old Al-Nassr forward suggested that the Saudi Pro League was way superior to the MLS after long-term rival Lionel Messi completed his switch to Inter Miami.

Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr in December 2022 after terminating his contract with English Premier League giants Manchester United and has been the biggest brand in the Saudi Pro League.

How Lionel Messi fans reacted

Meanwhile, fans have claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo is just too 'obsessed' with Lionel Messi following his comments.

An Argentina national team fan page slammed Ronaldo as being jealous of Messi.

Another fan was delighted that Messi joined the MLS, as he believes that Ronaldo would have claimed he influenced the 2022 World Cup winner to join the Saudi Pro League if he had moved to Saudi Arabia.

Perry Paisley revealed that Ronaldo’s comparison was needless.

Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr suffer humiliating defeat

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Cristiano Ronaldo had a nightmarish start to the pre-season as Al-Nassr suffered a crushing 5-0 defeat against Celta Vigo on July 17.

The Saudi Pro League giants were handed a reality check in their third preparatory game ahead of the 2023/24 season as things took a tumultuous turn.

Despite a decent first-half performance that held Celta to a goalless draw, things unraveled in the second half - worsened by a red card - resulting in a demoralizing 5-0 defeat.
