IShowSpeed switches from Ronaldo mega-fan to Messi fan after insane debut goal IShowSpeedIShowSpeed has swallowed his own words, becoming a Messi fan despite his obsession with Cristiano Ronaldo. IShowSpeed\u2018s admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo is almost unparalleled \u2014 with the YouTuber going to some extreme lengths to show his love for the Portuguese footballer, going as far as getting a tattoo of his face. In the past, the 18-year-old has traveled across the world several times in hopes of meeting his idol. Although it proved to be way more difficult than he\u2019d ever imagined. It first didn\u2019t go to plan as Ronaldo was left out of the Manchester United squad after Speed traveled to watch the Red Devils at Old Trafford. However, finally saw the multiple-time Balon d\u2019Or winner on the pitch in person in Qatar at the 2022 World Cup. After years of trying to meet CR7 in the flesh, the day finally came in June 2023, where he not only met the footballer, but also some of his family members. But now, the YouTube star has painfully had to swallow his own words, after his promise to start supporting Messi backfired. IShowSpeed now a Messi fan after promise backfires During a July 21 live stream, Speed attended Inter Miami\u2019s match against Liga MX side Cruz Azul, in which Lionel Messi, one of Ronaldo\u2019s biggest rivals in football, made his debut for Miami. The game was fairly even, looking like it was ending in a 1-1 draw as the match entered into two minutes of extra time. However, Inter Miami was awarded a free kick just outside the box in the 94th minute, where Messi stepped up to take the kick. It was then that Speed told his stream that he\u2019d become a Messi fan if the Argentinian scored from the free kick. \u201cIf Messi scores this free kick, I\u2019m a Messi fan wallahi,\u201d the YouTube star said. Moments later, the new Miami number 10 only went and did it. Messi put the ball straight into the top left of the goal not giving the goalkeeper any chance. Wearing his Ronaldo shirt at the time, the goal left Speed completely stunned, before he took off his shirt to unveil he was wearing an Inter Miami one underneath, of course with Messi on the back of it. Be careful about what you wish for Speed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
