FANS have been left disappointed after a text sent by Speed to Cristiano Ronaldo was ‘leaked’ online.
In recent years, popular streamer IShowSpeed, real name Darren Watkins, has risen to fame largely due to his love for football great Ronaldo.
After several failed attempts, the American finally met the five-time Ballon d’Or winner after Portugal’s win over Bosnia and Herzegovina last year.
And now, the first message Speed sent his idol after meeting has surfaced online, and fans can’t believe it.
Last week, the world’s biggest YouTuber, MrBeast, released a video with Ronaldo following a podcast the pair recorded a week earlier.
Following the video, MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, contacted the striker by adding Speed to a group chat the YouTuber had set up with Ronaldo.
As revealed by Speed On his livestreamIn a text to the group, MrBeast wrote: “Ronaldo, this is Speed the biggest streamer in the world, wanted to say hello.”
And once he joined the chat, Speed took the opportunity to speak with his sports hero.
“Hey Ronaldo, it’s Speed, we met last year. I just wanted to say hi, and hopefully we can meet again soon. Cheers,” the 19-year-old wrote.
Reacting to a clip of the text exchange on X, one fan wrote: “This will be another life changing moment for her, if it’s accepted
Another agreed, writing: “Yes, Speed is serious about this stream and he really wants it to happen somehow

While one fan suggested: “Ronaldo wouldn’t respond to that nonsense…he hates slow.’
And Ronaldo isn’t the only major football star that Speed now has saved on his phonebook, as he recently revealed he also had the Real Madrid star’s phone number.
