Saudi pro league has grown so much over the last two years since the arrival of one of the greatest player of all time Cristiano Ronaldo. This season Saudi league has been so competitive especially the battle between Al hilal and al nassr. Although even as a Ronaldo fan I would go with al hilal to win the Saudi pro league. Their goal scoring prowess makes them so difficult to draw a match
Indeed, since the arrival of world star Ronaldo, there have been huge changes to the SPL, one of which is the increasing number of top European players who are starting to take an interest and come to become SPL players.
Apart from that, the SPL has become football competition that is quite popular, almost like league competition in European football. Previously it was clear that the SPL was not well-known competition, but since Ronaldo arrived we have seen for ourselves how it has developed.
Now Saudi football has become football that is loved by many people and fans are starting to come from various countries abroad just to be able to see their mainstay players competing for their team in the SPL competition.
Just imagine, if there had been no agreement and Ronaldo had arrived, the SPL or Saudi football would never have been able to develop as rapidly as it is now.
Of course, very good developments will be able to have quite significant positive impact too.
The argument among football fans across the globe on wether Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world or not can go on and on and on but I don't think there's any doubt to the fact that the Portuguese superstar is the most influencial footballer ever in the history of football and I say that because of how his presence in the Saudi Pro League have been able to help influence and promote the Saudi league to almost the whole part of the world.
Before his arrival to the Saudi Pro League, it wasn't a globally known league as it wasn't much talked about in the media but his presence have made the league to be one of the most talked about leagues in the world and that's what only Cristiano Ronaldo can do if you ask me.
