Speed isn’t happy with Lionel Messi.

The American YouTuber went viral on Wednesday with his reaction to Inter Miami’s late equalizer against FC Cincinnati in the semifinals of the U.S. Open Cup.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s avid fan thought Messi was going to pick up his first loss in the United States, but the Argentine star once again had other ideas.

Speed was seen on video celebrating early, saying:

“Messi took his first L in Ohio.”

His expression changed, however, when Messi launched a cross into the box in the dying minutes of second-half stoppage time.

Speed couldn’t believe it when Leonardo Campana headed in his captain's pass and tied the match at 2-2, saying, “I’m done.”
