YouTube star Darren "IShowSpeed" raised eyebrows after he comically lifted his French kit, revealing the Argentinian kit he was wearing underneath his shirt following Messi and the team's historic World Cup triumph.
For those unfamiliar with the YouTuber, Darren is a staunch Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal fan. He was among the attendees for yesterday's final at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar. The creator managed to live stream his reaction for the entirety of the match, as he kept shifting his emotions throughout the evening.
Notwithstanding his support for Portugal, he revealed an Argentinian kit, leaving fans and bystanders in a state of shock and hilarity.
"Why it couldn’t be Ronaldo" - IShowSpeed left in agony following Messi's historic victory

"Why god? Why did you let Messi win the World Cup?"
Following his apparent heartbreaking experience, Darren went on a Twitter spree expressing his emotions. Hoping it was Ronaldo on the podium instead of his rival, he posted:
"just why god i just can’t take it anymore why it couldn’t be ronaldo"
Regardless of the momentous achievement, IShowSpeed was not willing to budge on his stance regarding the so-called 'goat' debate. Stating that Ronaldo was still the best player of all time, he posted:
"Ok I finally admit it. Messi is the 2nd best of all time after Ronaldo"
His tweeting spree did not stop there. He made further posts that included the YouTuber condoling his favorite player, stating:
"i cant imagine what ronaldo is feeling"
Regardless of the banter, he did, however, share a tweet extending his regards to yesterday's man of the moment:
"messi respect"
