Soon IShowSpeed started doubting whether it was the real Ronaldo. So, Speed asked, “Wait, speak Portuguese real quick.” He repeatedly asks the Portuguese icon to speak his native tongue but he refuses to do so. Instead, he asks him to show his excellent soccer skills. The fake Ronaldo was hesitant at first but couldn’t avoid his constant persuasion.

After failing to display the skill moves, Speed was sure it was not the real Ronaldo. A disappointed Speed smashed a PS5 box and broke a TV nearby in rage. In the end, the 17-year-old barks at Cristiano Ronaldo’s lookalike. Even the fans felt bad for the YouTuber and wished he gets to meet the Portuguese soccer star someday.
