The internet is buzzing after a hilarious exchange between former Argentina striker Sergio Aguero and YouTube sensation IShowSpeed at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. Speed, a well-known Cristiano Ronaldo fanatic, was in attendance to watch Lionel Messi's Inter Miami debut in the tournament against Al Ahly. Despite his admiration for Ronaldo, Speed was eager to meet Messi, but his initial attempts to get the Argentine's attention in the tunnel proved unsuccessful, with Messi seemingly not noticing him.

Not one to give up, Speed later sought the help of Sergio Aguero, Messi's former teammate and close friend. In a video that has since gone viral, Speed asked Aguero to "link him up" with Messi. Aguero, never one to miss an opportunity for banter, immediately turned the tables on the young YouTuber.

Aguero playfully questioned Speed about his unwavering support for Ronaldo. "You're a Ronaldo fan," Aguero stated, a statement of fact that's practically Speed's brand. Speed, while reaffirming his respect for Messi, admitted his preference for the Portuguese star. Aguero then seized the moment to deliver a subtle jab at Ronaldo, asking Speed, "Is Ronaldo playing here (at the Club World Cup)?" When Speed replied in the negative, Aguero quipped, "Then maybe he should just watch."

The exchange was met with amusement and widespread reactions online. Many fans saw Aguero's comments as a cheeky dig at Ronaldo's absence from the Club World Cup. Some have also suggested that Aguero was simply defending his friend and former teammate. Others, however, felt Aguero's remarks were unwarranted. Some social media users suggested that Aguero is "salty" about missing out on the 2022 World Cup.

Speed's loyalty to Ronaldo is well-documented. He frequently proclaims Ronaldo as the greatest of all time and is known for celebrating goals with Ronaldo's signature "Siu" celebration. He even went as far as booing Messi during a previous Inter Miami game against Al Nassr, a match Ronaldo couldn't attend.

The interaction highlights the ongoing Messi-Ronaldo rivalry. Despite both players being in the twilight years of their careers, the debate about who is the better player continues to ignite passions among fans worldwide.

Beyond the banter, the incident also illustrates the evolving landscape of sports fandom. Personalities like IShowSpeed are reshaping how fans engage with the game, turning their passions into entertainment for millions. Speed's presence at the Club World Cup, decked out in a Ronaldo shirt while trying to meet Messi, is a testament to this new era of fan engagement. Even after being ignored by Messi, Speed continued to try and meet the Argentinian and attempted to convince Aguero to arrange another meeting with his former teammate.

Ultimately, the exchange between Aguero and Speed provided a lighthearted moment amidst the serious competition of the Club World Cup. Whether Aguero was genuinely "cooking" Speed and Ronaldo or simply engaging in friendly banter, the video has undoubtedly entertained millions and added another layer to the enduring Messi-Ronaldo debate.
