Lebouef told BetVictor: "It annoys me when I hear Cristiano Ronaldo saying that the Saudi Pro League is better than Ligue 1.
"Why do you think he chose to make that comment about Ligue 1 rather than the Portuguese League?
"It's because Lionel Messi played in Ligue 1 (at PSG before move to Inter Miami). I have lots of respect for him as a player but come on, just shut up! It is unfair to Ligue 1."
Ronaldo had stated: "Saudi League is not worse than Ligue 1.
"Saudi Pro League is more competitive than Ligue 1, I can say that after one year spent there. We are better than the French league already now."
