Emmanuel Adebayor and Cristiano Ronaldo share a strong friendship that originated during their respective stints in England—Adebayor at Arsenal and Ronaldo at Manchester United. Their connection deepened when they both played for Real Madrid in 2011, showcasing a perfect chemistry on the field.
Adebayor has publicly expressed his support for Ronaldo in the upcoming Golden Ball awards. To emphasize his endorsement, the former Monegasque replicated Ronaldo’s iconic goal celebration in the style of the “Commander.” This gesture holds significance, especially considering the past mockery Ronaldo endured from Sepp Blatter. When questioned in the mixed zone after the match, Adebayor revealed, “I celebrated like Cristiano Ronaldo because people owe him respect.”
During his loan spell with Real Madrid in 2011, Adebayor became a beloved figure in the Merengues’ locker room. He even shared his dance expertise with Ronaldo and their teammates at the Santiago Bernabeu.
