Popular streamer IShowSpeed continued his pantomime opposition to Lionel Messi after the superstar was substituted on in the closing stages of inter Miami's 6-0 defeat to Al-Nassr.
The Saudi Arabian-hosted friendly had been billed as the 'Last Dance', promising a mouth-watering return to the duals between the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner and his old rival Cristiano Ronado.
However, the Portuguese striker was forced to pull out of the occasion with a muscle injury, while Messi took to the field for only seven minutes.
Nevertheless, Speed was on hand to provide his usual blend of energy and showmanship, first in greeting the Miami players before the clash.
The 19-year-old made his way down the line of players of the North American side and was warmly embraced by the likes of Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets.
Though, the Ohio-native called the former Barcelona star, Sergio Biscuits, when introducing himself. The midfield maestro appeared unfazed by the jibe from the Youtuber.
Speed saved the majority of his energy for Messi, who joined the fray in the 83rd minute of the clash in the Kingdom Arena.
The teenager proudly stood from his seat and booed the World Cup winner, blasted an Al-Nassr player for shaking hands with him and exclaimed his trademark phrase: 'Ronaldo better.'
Hecklers were the least of Messi's concerns on Thursday night as his side suffered a humiliating 6-0 defeat to the Saudi Pro League side.
Goals from Otavio, Mohammed Maran, a Talisca hat-trick and an outrageous Aymeric Laporte strike from inside his own half, sunk the MLS outfit.
Al-Nassr resume their league campaign against league leaders Al-Hilal next week, while Messi and Co face three more friendlies before they meet Real Salt Lake in their MLS opener at the end of the month.

Last year, Ronaldo refused to come off the bench when Man Utd was winning 2-0. Last night, Messi came as substitute even when inter Miami was losing 6-0. Humbleness costs nothing. I know my GOAT🐐🇦🇷

even though I'm not a fan of either of them, but u really need to look at each scenario.... cr7 was 89 mins after warming up for over 15 minutes while Messi was 83 mins in a friendly match.... these are two different scenarios

To be honest and real, Humility runs in the blood of Leo even if you’re his hater now in the future you will see it and can’t deny it. I wasn’t expecting him to come in after the 6:0, Ronaldo may not be able to do same but I know one thing for sure his character would win over anything else. Children of today Learn from MESSI how to be a better Human Being above your strength, talent and profession. Peace ✌🏿
