Leagues Cup 2023: IShowSpeed is unfaithful to Cristiano and 'switches' to become a Messi fan after L

The popular Brazilian YouTuber and influencer, IShowSpeed, famous for openly declaring himself as the number one fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, made headlines this Friday during the MLS debut of CR7's biggest rival in football, none other than Lionel Messi.

The Brazilian streamer received a field pass and was in a privileged location within the DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale for the Leagues Cup match between Inter Miami and Cruz Azul from Mexico, eagerly anticipated by many for the World Champion's debut with the team led by 'Tata' Martino.

Although he didn't have the ideal opportunity to record the content he had precisely prepared during the first half, Speed saw the perfect moment to start recording when Messi was about to take the free-kick that ended up being his first goal with his new team.

A very viral video

In the footage he immediately posted on his social media, the streamer was seen wearing a Portuguese national team jersey with Cristiano's name and number while stating that he would become a Messi fan if he scored. Even some kids in the crowd seemed to warn him about his apparent contradiction before the stadium exploded with excitement after Messi's stunning goal. Speed then took off the jersey he was wearing, revealing an Inter Miami number 10 jersey while celebrating wildly.

It's a viral video, with a well-planned setup and an even better conclusion. The first goal of Messi with his new team.
