Cristiano Ronaldo: 'La Liga is the best league in the world'

Cristiano Ronaldo has claimed that La Liga is the best domestic competition in the world.

The Portuguese star spent seven season in England with Manchester United before his £80m move to Spanish giants Real Madrid.

"The Premier League is where I learned the basic rules of football, especially discipline," said the former Ballon d'Or winner.

"The Spanish league relies on technique and skill, so I think La Liga is the best league in the world, although the technical level is different to the Premier League."

Ronaldo spoke at the Dubai International Sports Conference on Wednesday.
