Premier League legend Cristiano Ronaldo commented on the ongoing title race between Manchester City and Arsenal.
Al Nassr superstar Cristiano Ronaldo was caught on camera ahead of the heavyweight bout between Tyson Fury and Aleksandr Usyk, telling an Arsenal fan they would not win the Premier League.
The 38-year-old is himself a three-time winner of the competition with Manchester United. However, he has since called time on his career in Europe and now plies his trade in the Gulf.

Nigerian boxer Joshua Oluwaseun Wahab supported by Anthony Joshua is knocked out in round 1 of the Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk card.
Ronaldo is the face of the Saudi Professional League and arguably the entirety of the country's sporting interests, as he is a steady guest at big sports-related events within the borders.
Ronaldo on Arsenal winning the league
Tyson Fury is set to go up against ‘The Cat’ for the heavyweight title-unifying fight at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and as has become customary with these big events, Ronaldo is in attendance.
While in the arena, the Portugal international met with Hall of Fame boxing promoter Frank Warren, who happens to be an Arsenal fan.
Warren exchanged pleasantries with Ronaldo before proceeding to invite him to play for Arsenal: “We are still waiting for you at Arsenal,” a proposition that five-time Ballon d'Or winner laughed off, before breaking the heart of hopeful Gunners faithful.
“You are not going to win the league. Oh God,” Ronaldo added pitifully.
Arsenal are in a direct shootout with Manchester City for that Premier League title. They are two points behind the Mancunians, with three left to play for. They would have to beat Everton at the Emirates, as well as require West Ham to beat Manchester City at the Etihad to win their 14th league title this season.
