The GOAT debate between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi remains a timeless discussion for the fans that transcends soccer dynamics. La Pulga outshined every other soccer star with his recent success with the Ballon d’Or award. However, Davido Adeleke, a Nigerian singer, preferred CR7 over the Argentine as the greatest soccer star of all time.

The Inter Miami forward made headlines with his 8 Ballon d’Or this season. Messi secured the Golden Ball after clinching his first FIFA World Cup glory along with an emphatic performance in the domestic fixture. Regardless, the 30-year-old singer was deeply impressed with Cristiano Ronaldo’s accomplishments and their illustrious performances throughout his career.

What did Davido remark about Cristiano Ronaldo?

Cristiano Ronaldo is leaving a lasting impression in Al Nassr with his goal-scoring prowess at the twilight of his career. The 38-year-old veteran scored 857 goals in domestic and international fixtures. CR7 demonstrated his unwavering commitment to his attacking presence in every game. On this note, Davido Adeleke was enthralled by Ronaldo’s exceptional stints and highly regarded his disciplined career approach.

The Nigerian songwriter remarked in an interview, “I like both of them, but personally, I’m a Ronaldo guy. He’s a very disciplined person. And to have that kind of success and to be so disciplined at the same time is something I’ve always admired about him.”
