Popular Brazilian YouTuber and influencer IShowSpeed, famous above all for being the outspoken number one fan of Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, changed his mind this Friday at the debut of CR7's biggest rival on the MLS soccer scene. It is, no more and no less, about Lionel Messi.
The Brazilian broadcaster was able to be in a privileged seat on the field of the DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale for the League Cup match between Inter Miami and Cruz Azul from Mexico, expected by many to be the world champion's debut with the team managed by 'Tata' Martino.
Although he didn't have the ideal opportunity to see the "Flea" throughout the first half, Speed saw the perfect moment to start recording his camera when Messi was preparing to take the free-kick that ended up being his first goal with his new team.
IShowSpeed : “If Messi scores this free kick, I'm a Messi fan, wallahi”

In the footage he immediately posted on his social media, the broadcaster was seen wearing a Portuguese team shirt with Cristiano's name and number on it, as he declared he would become a Messi fan if he scored, with some children in the audience even seen warning him of his apparent contradiction before the stadium erupted after the Argentine's big goal.
Immediately after the goal, Speed took off the shirt he was wearing and revealed Inter Miami's number 10 as he broke into a huge celebration. A whole viral video, with a long preparation and a better ending. Messi's first goal with his new team...
