Ronaldo Not the Best Striker in Saudi League; Mitrović Holds the Title

Omar Al Somah, the Syrian striker currently playing for Al Arabi in Qatar, has expressed his opinion that Aleksandar Mitrović is presently the best striker in the Saudi Pro League, surpassing even Cristiano Ronaldo.

Al Somah stated, "Although I am a fan of Ronaldo, what Mitrović is delivering at the moment makes him a more complete striker than Ronaldo."

Regarding the best midfielder in the league, Al Somah highlighted Sergej Milinković-Savić of Al Hilal, noting his significant contributions to the team's victories this season. He also mentioned that he considers Yassine Bounou superior to Edouard Mendy among goalkeepers, and named Kalidou Koulibaly as the league's top defender.

When comparing himself to Abderrazak Hamdallah, Al Somah confidently chose himself, suggesting that statistics would support his claim.

As of the end of week thirteen in the Saudi Pro League, Mitrović leads the scoring charts with 12 goals, while Ronaldo has netted 10 goals.
