In the past, famous England player Steven Gerrard made a strong statement to people who overly praise the MLS league.

According to the specialist, the North American league cannot even be compared to the Saudi Arabian championship.

"I think the top four Arab teams wouldn’t have anything to do in the MLS league.

I would say that quite a few of their teams could compete in the Premier League,” said S. Gerrard.

This way, the Englishman somewhat echoed the comments of Al Nassr club striker Cristiano Ronaldo, who had called the Saudi Arabian league stronger than the Ligue 1 championship.
