"What's the obsession with Ronaldo? Can I- You've never actually addressed this on stream yet. I know you love him, I respect that, but why? Why do you love him so much?"

Speed simply responded:
"He's the GOAT! He's literally number one in the football world. He's number one in the world. Ronaldo's the GOAT."

Carragher stated:
"You're just using him to try and get your numbers up!"
