Popular gospel singer Tim Godfrey has written a heartwarming note to Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo.
As the footballer retires from International football, Godfrey took to his Instagram page to celebrate him, noting how he still won the World Cup despite losing the cup.
The musician described Ronaldo as an absolute legend and appreciated him for showing up every day, for teaching the world passion, for being disciplined and dedicated, for sharing his gift with the world, and for being a blessing.
“As far as I am concerned. Even without the cup, you won the world!
You are an absolute legend!
Thank you for showing up every day!
Thank you for teaching the world passion!
Thank you for your discipline, dedication, resilience, endurance, focus, courage, and winning mentality!
Thank you for sharing your gift to the world.
Thank you for being a blessing to us (Real Madrid).
If you are not MESSI here. Put a love emoji for the real GOAT!”.
CR7, who captained the Portuguese team, lost to Spain in the last 16 of the 2026 World Cup. He had announced before the game that this summer would mark his last appearance at a World Cup. The Portugal captain was visibly emotional at the close, knowing his side had failed to show up for his final farewell tour.
Nigerians have grown to love the famous star over the years. Actress Sarah Martins left many stunned with a photo of herself with Ronaldo. The movie star noted that she met him in Egypt and described them as her Igbo brothers.
