The love and admiration that Speed carries in his heart needs no introduction. During their meeting, the iconic football star mentioned that his son was intimidated by the YouTuber’s presence. He could be seen saying, "My son told me that you would be here." The Al-Nassr star also did his 'Siuuu' celebration and clicked pictures with his die-hard fan.
Speaking of the game, Ronaldo made his 199th appearance for Portugal and was playing his third match under the new manager Roberto Martinez, who joined the team after the 2022 WC. The game saw Portugal taking an easy 3-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina at Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica. Bruno Fernandes scored goals, as well as assisted in delivering a remarkable performance in the Euro 2024 qualifier. Not only this, but Bernardo Silva also managed to get his name on the scoresheet by his goal.
