Obinna Michael Durumchukwa, 34, was killed by one of his countrymen at Nalasopara after their argument over who’s the better footballer, Messi or Ronaldo, turned violent.

A man killed his friend after a heated argument in which the pair disputed who is the better player, Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi, according to reports in India.

The row, between two Nigerian men, occurred at a birthday party in Mumbai.

Obinna Michael Durumchukwa, a 34-year-old fan of Messi, threw a piece of glass at Ronaldo-supporting friend Nwabu Chukwuma, 22, after a blazing argument over the players’ respective merits.

 Mr Chukwuma is then said to have retaliated by slitting his friend’s throat with a piece of glass before leaving him to die on the floor of the apartment, according to the Hindustan Times.

Inspector Kiran Kabadi, of the Tulinj police, was quoted in the Mumbai Mirror as saying: ‘A discussion over the best current footballer led to the incident.’

Neighbours overheard the commotion and reported the incident to police.

Chukwuma has since been arrested and charged for murder.
