Victor Osimhen Reveals He Waited One Hour to Take a Selfie with Cristiano Ronaldo

Victor Osimhen Reveals He Waited One Hour to Take a Selfie with Cristiano Ronaldo

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has shared a heartwarming behind-the-scenes story of his humble determination to meet one of his football idols, Cristiano Ronaldo — and the powerful lesson it holds for every dreamer.

In an interview with media personality Daddy Freeze, Osimhen opened up about the moment he finally took a selfie with Ronaldo following Napoli’s 1-0 victory over Juventus in February 2021 — but not without a serious dose of patience and admiration.

“I said to him, ‘Chris, I’d like to take a picture with you.’ He said, ‘Yeah, come to the dressing room.’”

What followed next was something most fans wouldn’t expect. Rather than immediately posing for the camera, Osimhen had to wait an entire hour while Ronaldo finished his post-match workout — a routine that apparently doesn’t skip a beat, win or lose.

“Buffon saw me and asked what I wanted. He told me Ronaldo was in the gym, told me to sit. We were just talking… it was almost 30 minutes, then one hour — he was still working out.”

💬 Opinion: A Masterclass in Humility — From Both Sides

Osimhen’s story is more than a casual celebrity tale — it's a reminder of humility, persistence, and the awe that fuels greatness.

First, Osimhen didn’t let pride get in the way. Despite being a top striker himself, he waited patiently — like any starstruck fan — to meet someone he looked up to. That takes maturity and respect, especially in a world where egos often collide on the pitch.

Second, Ronaldo’s dedication shines through once again. A post-match, solo training session while others relax speaks volumes about the discipline that keeps the Portuguese legend at the top of world football.

This brief moment between two footballers — one already a legend, the other on his way — is a snapshot of what it truly takes to succeed. Patience. Grit. And most importantly, respect for the game and the people in it.
