Osimhen Says He Waited One Hour After a Match to Take a Selfie With Ronaldo
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.
Footballer Lamine Yamal speaks on the Ballon d’Or award and shares how he will still be happy if his teammate, Pau Cubarsí, gets the award.
“Last year, for me, Cubarsí was the best young player in the world. Either the Kopa award or the Ballon d’Or should go to him. There’s no difference between us.
“When I won it, I told him that he would be next. If he doesn’t win it for whatever reason, I will give it to him.”
Popular footballer Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on retirement and shares how he actually thought of retiring from international football after the 2026 World Cup.
“I thought about retiring from international football after the World Cup, but I spoke to the president, coach, and I am still here. I am an asset, I can help.”
He adds, “The young kids love me because they see me as an example, and that, for me, is the most important thing. I will continue to do that even when I retire after 10 years.”
Footballer Kylian Mbappé shares that he actually came close to signing with Liverpool.
“I was close to Liverpool. My mum was a big fan of Jurgen Klopp, and the favourite destination for my mum was Liverpool. She wanted me to go there,” Mbappé told The Athletic.
“I didn’t listen because I wanted to play in my city, Paris. I didn’t want to leave my country before I was someone. But yes, my mum was always saying, ‘Liverpool — you’re going to be there, playing at Anfield, it’s going to be insane for you.’ I was like, ‘OK!’
“All the time we were talking. ‘What do you think, Mum?’ She’d say, ‘For me, you have to go to Liverpool.’ I said, ‘OK, OK, OK!’ because Jurgen Klopp was an amazing manager. I met him and had a wonderful relationship with him. I had big respect for him.”
