Davido was questioned by GOAL about his opinions on the Cristiano Ronaldo vs. Lionel Messi argument for the title of greatest player of all time at the award ceremony.

Davido chose to support Portuguese football legend Cristiano Ronaldo over Argentine Maestro Messi.

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."
