Many renowned names were present to watch the emphatic match, and so was Speed. During the match, just after he met Ronaldo, the American YouTuber was waiting to meet another special person.

That was actually Portuguese legend Rui Costa, but in Speed’s eyes, it was someone else. He mistook the former player for the president of Portugal and started shouting to get a picture with him.

The legend agreed to his request while Speed was shouting, “I’m sorry President, President, I love you. eu te amo…eu te amo. eu sou um Ronaldo fan.”
