Davido also professed love for the two superstars, but added that he prefers Ronaldo because he is very disciplined like him.
He said, “Cristiano for me, you know, what outcomes, very, very disciplined,
“I am a very, very disciplined person, you know, and to have that kind of success and to be so disciplined at the same time is something I’ve always admired about him.
“I like both of them. But, I personally, I’m a Ronaldo guy.”
The DMW boss went on to label Arsenal winger, Bukayo Saka as his favourite young footballer.
