Speed – real name Darren Watkins Jr – is well-known to be a Ronaldo superfan, collapsing when meeting the Al-Nassr ace last June.
But the viral sensation has also become friends with Ronaldo’s son.
And the pair were seen facing off against one another on the pitch, with Jr attacking and Speed defending.
However, while Speed may have the beating of Cristiano Jr in online following, it seems he still has a way to go in football.
A video from the creator’s YouTube channel showed after he was nutmegged TWICE by Cristiano Jr during what appeared to be a friendly five-a-side game.
The first saw Cristiano Jr elegantly put the ball through Speed’s legs, with the American reacting by putting his hand over his mouth and looking at the floor.
A second clip saw Speed trying to weave his way past a couple of defenders before Cristiano Jr capitalised on a heavy touch and rolled the ball between his legs a second time, prompting a more animated reaction from Speed.
However, fans joked Speed was now “part of the family”.

A second said: “Bro really became a family member of Ronaldo.”
A third said: “Bro’s now officially a Ronaldo family member.”
Another added: “The duo we never knew we needed😂🔥.”
American Speed is getting more to grips with football since going viral.
He has appeared in back-to-back Sidemen Charity matches and has also been seen participating in several football-related videos.
Speed has also been seen streaming with Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Jr has laid bare his intention to play with his dad after sealing a transfer to Al-Nassr in October.
