Yannick Carrasco speaks about Al-Nassr superstar Cristiano Ronaldo’s impact on the Saudi Pro League
Yannick Carrasco recently spoke about how Cristiano Ronaldo’s presence at Al-Nassr would help the Saudi Pro League grow. The Belgian currently plays for SPL club Al-Shabab.
The Saudi Pro League has now become a star-studded league, boasting players like Riyad Mahrez, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, and more. Speaking about the impact of superstars like Ronaldo, Carrasco said (via GOATTWorld on X):
“Playing with these great players will make the Saudi player develop a lot, and even I will definitely benefit from the presence of European football stars.”
Since Ronaldo’s arrival, the SPL have had a massive global popularity boost. The exposure allows lesser-known players to grab the spotlight, which also helps the league grow leaps and bounds.
Thank You!
