IShowSpeed has developed a great interest in soccer over the last few months, and one of the reasons he started liking the sport was Cristiano Ronaldo. The YouTube streamer has announced himself as the biggest Ronaldo fan. He even came up with a song dedicated to the Portuguese striker.

Since becoming a Ronaldo fan, Speed has wished to meet his idol. He even went to the United Kingdom and Qatar to see his icon play and possibly meet him. However, he didn’t get to meet the Portuguese star. But the 17-year-old recently received fascinating information from Ronaldo’s teammate, which sent him to cloud nine.

Cristiano Ronaldo knows IShowSpeed

The American streamer is becoming a big name in the soccer community, especially after his World Cup song and livestreams during the FIFA World Cup. He has even been on FaceTime with soccer stars like Jesse Lingard and Rio Ferdinand. Further, Alphonso Davies has reacted to Speed’s content on his streams.

But recently, the YouTuber got the opportunity to FaceTime the Portuguese forward Rafael Leao. The AC Milan player recently played with CR7 for the Portuguese national side and Speed also attended the World Cup to watch his idol. So, it was impossible for Speed to not ask Leao questions related to Ronaldo.
