Speed revealed Real Madrid star is the most famous contact in his phonebook and tried calling him on camera
The streamer revealed the Los Blancos star in his contacts list.
YouTuber and streamer iShowSpeed has revealed the name of the Real Madrid star he has in his phone contact list – and it may surprise you.
Speed, 19, is an internet sensation who is regularly pictured at sporting events around the world, and he even fancies his chances in a boxing match against Jake Paul, who he called out on November 17 while speaking at ComplexCon.
The online star has been vocal about his admiration for former Madrid man Cristiano Ronaldo.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner surpassed Speed’s YouTube subscriber total in less than two days, boasting 28.2m subs on August 23, 2024.

Unsurprisingly, Speed seemed overjoyed as he watched Ronaldo’s subscriber count surpass his while live-streaming his reaction.
"Here he comes! Ronaldo the GOAT!” Speed exclaimed as he watched the Al Nassr man’s total rise.
“Oh my god, he just did it in one day, he passed me in one day!”
“Siu! Nobody can stop him! Nobody, he’s the GOAT!” he added.
However, it is another world-class player who Speed claims he has in his phone book.
He revealed that Los Blancos star and 2024 Ballon d’Or runner-up Vinicius Jr was, in fact, the star in his contacts list in a video with ‘House of Highlights’.
The streamer then proceeded to facetime the Brazilian international, but the voice that answered could not be identified.
It is unclear if the streamer and Vini Jr. have a relationship or if Speed has his phone number at all.
However, Speed was in attendance during the Ballon d’Or ceremony at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, France, on October 28.
Speed could heard repeating the words: “Vini, Vini,” when waiting for the winner of the prize to be announced, but he was ultimately disappointed when Manchester City and Spain midfielder Rodri came away with the coveted award.
The popular internet figure is no stranger to the spotlight, regularly taking part in charity football matches alongside fellow influencers and ex-professional footballers.
He hit the headlines in February 2024 when he was involved in an incident with former Brazilian footballer Kaka.
During ‘The Match for Hope’, Speed was up to his usual energetic tricks, giving former Chelsea star Eden Hazard advice, but it was his mistimed tackle on Kaka that was the biggest shock.
The 19-year-old received a yellow card, and fortunately, Kaka was not hurt.
