The streamer’s crazy journey to meet CR7 is finally over!
Ronaldo made his 199th international appearance as Portugal won the home game 3-0. The victory was expected, but a hilarious meet-and-greet with IShowSpeed dominated the headlines.
The 18-year-old, who has more than 16 million followers on YouTube alone, is known for his obsession with Ronaldo. He first tried to meet Ronaldo at Old Trafford last November but found out that he wasn’t playing that day.
IShowSpeed’s second attempt was when he travelled to West London to watch his idol play.
But once again, CR7 was absent from the Red Devils’ squad. Just hours later, Piers Morgan’s explosive interview with Ronaldo came out, which marked the end of his second spell at Old Trafford.
Speed’s dream finally came true when he met Ronaldo after Portugal’s win over Bosnia and Herzegovina on Saturday night. The teenager sounded like he was out of breath when he saw Ronaldo get out of his car.
Ronaldo hugged his mega-fan as Speed got his phone out to take a selfie. The streamer even showed his Ronaldo tattoo to the 38-year-old before doing the iconic ‘Siuuu’ celebration with him.
Meeting Speed wasn’t Ronaldo’s only bizarre exchange after the game.
Following the full-time whistle, a pitch invader fell to Ronaldo’s feet before getting up and lifting him during a hug. But, as always, Ronaldo remained calm and friendly with his excited fan.
Man City's Walker 'in advanced talks to join Bayern', Tuchel 'a key factor'
Kyle Walker is reportedly in advanced talks to join Bayern Munich, with manager Thomas Tuchel thought to be 'a key factor' in the plan to bring the defender to Germany.
Walker was omitted from the Manchester City starting line-up for the Champions League final in Istanbul earlier this month, and it has increased speculation that the England star will exit the Premier League champions in the transfer window.
Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg posted on Twitter that there were significant talks between Tuchel's Bayern team and Walker's representatives, although no agreement between the clubs has been reached yet.
Walker is thought to be keen on a permanent move, with his absence from Pep Guardiola's plan for the Champions League showpiece in Turkey being the final straw.
Plettenberg wrote 'All parties optimistic to finalize the deal', with Manchester City looking ahead to trying to defend three trophies in the forthcoming season.
