IShowSpeed, a well-known YouTuber with a love for soccer and frequent interactions with top sports figures, recently encountered an unexpected situation. During his trip to Milan, he crossed paths with a legendary player, leaving his massive following stunned.
Exploring AC Milan’s premises, the 19-year-old content creator received a personal welcome from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, hoping to showcase his skills or possibly outshine the football superstar. However, his attempt to impress or outwit Ibrahimovic backfired dramatically as he ended up on the ground in a humiliating manner.
The attempt seemed futile considering Ibrahimovic’s enduring physical prowess, and the situation became even more cringe-worthy when IShowSpeed started imitating a guard dog. The contrast in size between them made the moment even more memorable, portraying Speed as a small dog challenging a giant.
Adding to the embarrassment, the former player managed to bring him down twice, leading to a video that quickly went viral.
Contract Negotiations
During his Milan visit, IShowSpeed met AC Milan legend Ibrahimovic, who now serves as a senior advisor at the club. They toured San Siro and visited the club’s new store where Speed’s shirts were prominently displayed.
Their encounter was livestreamed on YouTube, and Ibrahimovic shared an Instagram Reel of their playful contract negotiation, with humorous demands including a weekly salary of $812,000 plus goal bonuses.
Many speculate that this skit was a strategic move to capitalize on Milan’s rising popularity in the United States, especially after the notable transfer of Christian Pulisic from Chelsea.
