“At Malmo, we played Real Madrid in the Champions League. A player was down injured so I approached Ronaldo and asked for his jersey but after the game, I didn’t see him again. I was in the dressing room, he came to look for me and gave me two jerseys” Enoch Adu Kofi told Angel TV.

Despite being a beneficiary of Ronaldo's philanthropic gesture, Kofi's Malmo fell to a two-nil defeat to Real Madrid, with Ronaldo scoring a brace.

Enoch, who is currently in Ghana for the holidays, also bemoaned the lack of opportunities he has received in the national team despite churning out impressive performances at the club level.
