Michael Chukwuma, 21, is said to have got into a fight with his friend and roommate Obina Durumchukwu, 34, on Sunday morning in Mumbai, India, after the pair
celebrated Mr Durumchukwu's birthday the night before.
It is understood one of the men, who are both Nigerian, was a fan of Barcelona forward and Argentina national Messi while the other was a fan of Real Madrid
forward and Portuguese captain Ronaldo.
Police say the men were discussing the players when a fight broke out and Mr Durumchukwu threw a glass into his friend's face.
Chukwuma is thought to have taken the broken glass and launched an assault on Mr Durumchukwu, who died later due to heavy bleeding.
Unconfirmed reports suggest Chukwuma hid in an empty house on the fourth floor of the friends' apartment block while neighbours called police.
"He surrendered without resistance," said police inspector Kiran Kabadi. "He was charged with murder and will be
produced in court on Monday.
"A discussion over the best current footballer led to the incident."
