The Portuguese soccer star had a tough year, especially near the end of 2022. Ronaldo had to exit from the World Cup in the Quarter Finals against Morrocco. It was sad news for his fans, but it wasn’t the end of sadness for them. The Portuguese star has left the European competition to join the Saudi Arabian Club Al-Nassr FC.

Most of Ronaldo’s fans are in absolute shock to hear about this transfer move, and among those fans is the famous YouTube streamer IShowSpeed. The 17-year-old is an avid fan of the Real Madrid legend and even visited Qatar recently to watch his soccer idol play in the latest FIFA World Cup.

IShowSpeed can’t believe Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Al-Nassr FC

IShowSpeed found out the news in a recent stream. Like every CR7 fan, the American YouTuber was in shock. But Speed was not aware of the Saudi Arabian club, as he’s new to the sport. So he initially thought his idol joined Paris Saint Germain, the French club where Ronaldo’s rival Lionel Messi currently plays.

He later asked his audience about the league and team, “Chat! What did Ronaldo go to? Is he in Dubai? Like, what is this? Chat, is this real? I don’t get it. Motherf**k! What is this league? Is this the Premier League at least? Chat, is he in the Premier League? Please. As long as he is in the Premier League, I’m straight. I don’t care.”

The 17-year-old soon got to know his idol won’t be playing in the Premier League or any major European tournament now. Further, if he now plans to meet the Portuguese soccer icon, he would have to travel to Saudi Arabia. It has sent Speed into a great dilemma of whether he should attend Ronaldo’s future matches in Saudi Arabia or not.
