Victor Osimhen has shared a special moment he had with football legend Cristiano Ronaldo after a Serie A match back in February 2021. Speaking during a chat with Daddy Freeze, Osimhen recalled how he patiently waited for over an hour just to snap a photo with the Portuguese star after Napoli’s 1-0 win against Juventus.

“I told him I wanted a picture,” Osimhen said. “He told me to come to the dressing room.” While trying to locate Ronaldo, Osimhen bumped into Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who led him to the gym where Ronaldo was busy working out. “He told me to sit and wait,” Osimhen said.

“We were just talking for about 30 minutes, and Ronaldo still didn’t come out. I ended up waiting for an hour while he continued his workout.” Osimhen described Ronaldo’s physique in awe, saying the five-time Ballon d’Or winner looked no older than 25. When they finally met, Ronaldo praised Osimhen’s performance and encouraged him to keep pushing.
