On December 3, 2024, a long-awaited moment unfolded for YouTuber and streamer IShowSpeed, as he was added to a group chat with his idol, football legend Cristiano Ronaldo, by none other than MrBeast. 

The 19-year-old content creator, who has been vocal about his admiration for the Portuguese footballer, had spent years trying to connect with him. 

During a recent livestream, IShowSpeed confronted MrBeast about not being included in a previous collaboration involving Ronaldo. 

After some lighthearted back-and-forth, MrBeast decided to make the dream come true and added him to the chat—on the condition that he wouldn’t "say anything too weird."

MrBeast, always one to hype up his friends, introduced IShowSpeed to the group by saying, "Ronaldo, this is Speed, the biggest streamer in the world, he wanted to say hi." 

The moment was a significant milestone for the YouTuber, who has long been a passionate fan of the legendary footballer.

IShowSpeed, known for his boisterous online persona, was overjoyed by the opportunity to chat with Ronaldo, and his first message was full of excitement and respect. 

He wrote: "Hey Ronaldo, it’s Speed we met about last year I just wanted to say hi, and hopefully we can meet again soon, cheers."

During his stream, IShowSpeed also shared his extravagant CR7-themed room, which features a giant CR7 logo on the wall and a signed Portugal jersey, all part of his impressive $100K setup dedicated to his football hero.

This unexpected connection between the YouTuber and the football star may open the doors to more exciting possibilities, including a potential collaboration. 

The excitement around IShowSpeed’s first message to Ronaldo is palpable, and many are eagerly waiting to see if the two will team up for a video or stream in the near future.

IShowSpeed has previously met Ronaldo in June 2023, during an emotional encounter at a Manchester United match. 

Despite attending other major football events, including Al-Nassr games, the streamer had yet to secure the chance to collaborate with Ronaldo—until now.

The world of streaming and sports just got even more exciting as two of the most influential figures from these fields have finally made contact. 

With MrBeast facilitating the link-up, fans can only imagine what could come next.
