The American YouTuber Darren "IShowSpeed" Watkins Jr. is known for his hilarious videos and interactions with famous football stars. He recently had the opportunity to interact with Cristiano Ronaldo and his Al-Nassr teammates during their pre-season exhibition match against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in Japan.
IShowSpeed, who is a big fan of Ronaldo, was seen wearing an Al-Nassr jersey and cheering for the Saudi Arabian club. The Al-Nassr squad were training for their friendly game against PSG with some on the cycles while some were getting ready for on-field training.
While standing on the sidelines, Speed shouted at the former Manchester United striker and he pointed at the YouTuber which got him very excited. The 18-year-old hilariously referred to Al-Nassr forward Anderson Talisca as ‘telescope’, making Ronaldo and the Brazilian crack up.

The YouTuber was having some problems identifying the other Al-Nassr players and had to refer to the internet to find out what their names were. A fan helped the influencer identify who was who and then one by they all waved back to Speed. Speed asked his friend, “Who is on the bicycle right now?” and a fan nearby came over to help and told him that it was Ghislain Konan after which he called out at him.

The friendly match between Al-Nassr and PSG ended in a 0-0 draw, with most of the core of the PSG squad not playing the game. The Saudi Arabian side will next face Inter Milan in their last friendly match before the Arab Champions Cup after which the 2022-23 season will begin with the opening fixture slated against Ettifaq.
