While offering his opinion, Olamide, while seemingly shunning his bias for his beloved football club, Barcelona, managed to trigger a new debate \u2013 who is the more hardworking of the two soccer greats?<\/p>\n<p>The two players have produced extraordinary performances on a consistent basis for the last decade, sharing between them 10 Ballon d\u2019Or awards.<\/p>\n<p>In a post on his official Instagram story on Wednesday, Olamide, a known Barcelona supporter, praised the qualities of the Real Madrid attacker.<\/p>\n<p><em>In unveiling his latest single incidentally titled \u201cC.Ronaldo\u201d, Olamide wrote: \u201cBecause I\u2019m a Barcelona fan is not enough reason for me to deny that C.Ronaldo is great and the most hardworking player in the history of football\u201d before adding: \u201cGbefun make God no deny you your right .
