The internet is going “aww” after popular YouTuber IShowSpeed uploaded a video of him meeting Christiano Ronaldo on Sunday. The FIFA streamer and YouTube blogger have expressed his deep admiration of Ronaldo on multiple occasions. So it wasn’t surprising to see Speed gushing when meeting his idol in Lisbon at the Euro 2024 Qualifiers. Many fans, including streamers, reacted to the video in obviously different ways.

Adin Ross, another YouTube content creator, seemed to think that Speed has helped to make the soccer legend even more famous. While soccer fans may take offense at such a remark, Ross seems to have his logic straight.

Adin Ross says Speed made his fans follow Ronaldo

Speed’s teary meeting with Ronaldo made many fans and streamers react on their own. Adin Ross seemed to believe that Speed’s popularity has helped Ronaldo to become more popular.

Such numbers are no joking matter and many fans didn’t forget to tell Ross about it.

In his own YouTube video, uploaded hours later Speed’s meeting with Ronaldo, Ross said that IShowSpeed has helped a lot of young Americans become aware of Ronaldo and his legendary feats and thus helped Ronaldo to gain more fans. A storm ensued on Twitter as many posts couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at Ross’ remarks.

Despite the internet trying to determine who is more famous, the meeting between IShowSpeed and Ronaldo was a wholesome moment, that seemed to make many people smile.
