The streamer’s crazy journey to meet CR7 is finally over!
Twitch streamer IShowSpeed finally met Cristiano Ronaldo after Portugal’s Euro 2026 qualifier against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
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.
