Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr rank considerably higher than Lionel Messi's Inter Miami in a list of the best clubs in world football.

Ronaldo signed for Al Nassr in January, effectively preceding an influx of top football stars making the move to the Saudi Pro League in the summer.

Messi, meanwhile, left PSG upon the expiry of his contract in July, signing for MLS franchise Inter Miami.

Both stars have had unsurprisingly significant impacts on their new clubs, with Messi already winning the Leagues Cup during his time in Miami.

Ronaldo, meanwhile, has smashed in 24 goals in the same number of Saudi Pro League matches.

In departing PSG and Manchester United respectively, Messi and Ronaldo both left top five European leagues - although while the rapid increase in quality of the Saudi Pro League is there for all to see, MLS has also been improving at an incredible rate.

But according to the latest Opta Power Rankings, which are updated weekly, Ronaldo's Al Nassr come out on top in comparison to Messi's Inter Miami side.

Al Nassr are ranked 86th in the Power Rankings - a huge 150 places ahead of Inter Miami, who are in 236th.

However, Ronaldo's side are not currently the top side in Saudi Arabia.

That accolade instead belongs to Al Hilal, who completed the star signing of Neymar in the summer. They are in 75th position.

Both sides rank ahead of the likes of Lyon and Scottish giants Celtic, while Premier League side Burnley are also below them.

And the third-highest ranked Saudi side is Al Ittihad (97th), who possess Karim Benzema, Fabinho and N'Golo Kante among their ranks.

You have to go down to 202nd position to find the next Saudi Pro League side, with Al Taawon occupying that spot.

Despite not possessing the star quality of other teams in the division, Al Taawon were surprise league leaders at the beginning of the weekend before Al Hilal won their game in hand to return to top spot.

Ronaldo's Al Nassr are in third place in the table, having picked up 19 points from their nine games so far.

Messi's Inter Miami, meanwhile, have not won any of their last five games in all competitions, contributing to their low ranking, although the Argentinian has missed four of those matches through injury.
