Davido has stirred social media with his claim that Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo personally invited him to watch a match.

His statement comes in the wake of Barcelona’s heartbreaking 7-6 aggregate loss to Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals at San Siro on Tuesday night, May 6.

Davide Frattesi sealed the win for Inter with a crucial goal in the 99th minute of extra time.

Davido recounts invitation by Ronaldo

Nigerian-American singer David Adeleke, better known as Davido, claimed he received an invitation to watch a match at Old Trafford a few years ago, courtesy of Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo.

In a post on X, the songwriter shared that the Ballon d'Or winner had booked a dinner for both of them, along with a surprise party, but it never materialised due to United's home loss.

The 32-year-old singer said the Red Devils' defeat was down to the performance of former captain Harry Maguire, with Ronaldo heading home to his family after the match.

The Afrobeats superstar revealed that he still holds a grudge against Harry Maguire to this day for not allowing him dine with the Portuguese star. Davido humorously wrote:

“Football ehn fit give person BP.

“I remember when CR7 personally invite me come watch match for Old Trafford then couple years ago.

He don book dinner ALL! Party chillin etc …. Nah so dem go lose match .. BABA VEX GO HOUSE .. since that day I still never forgive Maguire 😂😂”
