Former Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar has fired a dig at the French league after making the switch to the Saudi Pro League last month.
The Brazilian ended his six-year stint with the Paris outfit after completing a move to Al-Hilal, joining a number of other high-profile footballers to leave Europe for Saudi Arabia.
Neymar feels with some big names moving to Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Pro League might be better than the French top-flight.

"I guarantee you the football is the same. The ball is round, there are goals." Neymar said, as per Marca.
"And with all the names in the Saudi League today, it might be better than the French league.
"The training pace is intense, the thirst to win is great. I want to win titles with Al-Hilal.
"Nothing changes in my head. People say that the championship is not known, that it is weak… everyone said that when I went to the French championship and it was the place where I suffered the most in.
"It's not going to be easy to win the Saudi championship because there are other teams that have gotten stronger, there are well-known players and I'm sure it's going to be a very interesting league and that you're going to see it."
