> Even I have never heard of any famous saudi arabian players name. Even the players who went to saudi clubs arent that much popular now but they were popular. For example- Benzema, Sadio Mane, Kante etc. I am really glad that Mbappe didn't accept the offer with Saudi Pro League gave to him and instead joined Real Madrid.
I would still have preferred to see Mbappe at AC Milan or in England (Arsenal, Liverpool...) I find that he has a very similar profile to that of Thierry Henry (for those who want to know, even if Henry is not from my generation, there are a lot of videos of him), and I find that the Spanish championship has become very toxic both for the players and for the public. I remember an Sevilla -Rayo Vallecano match where a young spectator committed an unacceptable act, comparable to sexual assault on an Atletico player...
The Saudi pro League is also very very toxic...
But in spain, This could not happen in the time of Ronaldo and Messi because the fact that 2 Monstres sacrés played in the same championship commanded respect, even among the worst people.
but regardless of the championship, the players are no longer protected enough, particularly on the issue of racism, and no longer respected enough, and in my opinion, the culture of club football is dying out in Spain and France.
