Hazard disagrees with Ronaldo’s Ligue 1 ranking

Sports Brief earlier reported that Hazard has disagreed with Cristiano Ronaldo’s comments that the Saudi Pro League is better than the French Ligue 1.

The former Chelsea forward is of the opinion that the Saudi Pro League have big players now, but they do not have big teams, unlike the French league, where they do not have many big players, but they have bigger teams.
