IShowSpeed continued to live the dream of many football fans worldwide as he recently linked up with the son of Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia.

The American streamer made his way to the Middle East this week to watch the highly anticipated Riyadh Season Cup clash involving Ronalo’s Al Nassr and Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami.

Neither Ronaldo nor Messi started the match, although the latter eventually made a cameo appearance as his team suffered a 6-0 demolition.

Videos have since hit the internet showing IShowSpeed interacting with Inter Miami players, including David Ospina, Aymeric Laporte, Alex Telles, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, and Luis Suarez,

Ishowspeed meets Cristiano Jr

Just a day after the game, IShowSpeed, who gained internet fame thanks to his live streams, was up to his usual mischief, eventually leading him to meet Cristiano Jr.

He shared the whole interaction on his YouTube channel, where he exchanged pleasantries with the young Ronaldo before remarking on their hilarious height difference.

It appears IshowSpeed did not expect Cristiano Ronaldo’s son to be taller than himself.

“Why is Junior taller than me? He hilariously asked. “Bruh, am I short? I feel so short”

A picture also hit the web suggesting that IshowSpeed, whose real name is Darren, visited the five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s house, but Sports Brief has since established that this is not entirely true.

The photo, which has the Youtuber and Ronaldo’s son ‘hanging out’ on a couch, was likely taken from a friend of Cristiano Jr’s house. During the live stream on Friday, IShowSpeed received a call from the younger Ronaldo who suggested meeting at a friend’s house.

"Check the location I sent you. Go there. We're gonna all be there. Like, go there, we're gonna go to my friend's house, and then we will go play." Cristiano Jr said at around minute 00:59:23.

IShowSpeed supports South Africa

In other news, Sports Brief reported on IShowSpeed’s show of support towards Bafana Bafana in the Africa Cup of Nations.

The internet sensation threw his weight behind South Africa as they took on Morocco in the round of 16.

Two second-half goals from Evidence Makgopa and Teboho Mokoena were enough to send South Africa to the last eight of the competition, where they will face Cape Verde on Saturday, February 3.
