Lionel Messi's win of the 2023 Ballon d'Or on Monday, October 30, was widely anticipated by football fans, but it left the popular streamer IShowSpeed in shock.

Known for his fervent support of Cristiano Ronaldo, IShowSpeed was visibly taken aback by Messi's victory, particularly since Ronaldo didn't even make it into the top 30 contenders this year.

Attending the ceremony at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, IShowSpeed was caught on camera expressing his disbelief, exclaiming, "What?? Messi, man. Ain't no way, man. Not Ronaldo? Bro what?"

His surprise was palpable, and he continued to mention Ronaldo, despite the fact that the Al-Nassr striker was not in contention for the award.

Before the gala began, IShowSpeed interacted with various football stars, posting videos with the likes of Emiliano Martinez, Novak Djokovic, and Erling Haaland.

His agitation grew as the ceremony progressed, especially when David Beckham was called to announce the winner. He even did his signature move, barking like a dog, when Messi was officially declared the winner.

During the event, IShowSpeed exchanged words with football celebrities such as Bernardo Silva, Emiliano Martinez, and Erling Haaland. He even dared to ask Emiliano Martinez who he believed was the better player between Ronaldo and Messi. He also had a humorous encounter with Novak Djokovic, who jokingly claimed to be an AC Milan player.

IShowSpeed's passionate support for Cristiano Ronaldo led to his shock and dismay when Lionel Messi won the 2023 Ballon d'Or. His reactions were captured throughout the ceremony, where he interacted with football stars and exhibited his strong emotions at Messi's victory.
