“What a crossover”: Fans react as IShowSpeed meets Tom Brady at the Champions League final

In a crazy crossover, IShowSpeed meets Tom Brady.

A man of opportunities and talent, IShowSpeed made it to the UEFA Champions League Final. But the streamer's experience wasn't all about football; in fact, it turned into a star-studded whirlwind.

The IRL streaming superstar was streaming the entire event when he showed us his interaction with the NFL Hall of Famer Tom Brady. In the video, you can see Speed, whose real name is Darren Jason Watkins Jr., embrace Brady and shake his family's hands. Not only that, but in the clip, Tom revealed that the duo will be collaborating later at the Fanatics Fest, saying,

“I gotta rate your skills, or something like that.”

But that was not all, as Speed, who boasts 39.9M subscribers on YouTube, also had the chance to link up with other sports legends, including David Beckham, as he was rushing to a nearby room, and sports journalist Fabrizio Romano. Darren, in his interaction with Romano, told him,

“Every time I look at a transfer, I always be refreshing your page,”

Adding to these viral interactions, he also received an Instagram video note from Usain Bolt, who offered IShowSpeed mentoring to reach a new level of speed.

In the note, Bolt said,

"I'm retired now, so I'm not running. But I can coach you to go faster. You're already fast, but everybody wants to be faster, right?"

Fans react to IShowSpeed's interactions

While some internet users were impressed with IShowSpeed being there and loved his energy, others didn't quite understand why he had the opportunity in the first place.

One person stated,

"What a world where a streamer is the most famous person there"

Which led to an opposing retort by another netizen,

"I promise you that much more people in the world know Tom Brady over Speed. I like Speed, so it isn’t a knock. Just a fact."

To this, a third responded,

"Over 410 million people watch the NFL, Then you have European's like me who don't watch that shit and still know who he is... Nice try though"

One fan made a comment about his vibe,

"i just love how he meets everyone like they have been friends for the past 20 years"

And another person agreed with the sentiment,

"iShowSpeed always has such good energy."

While one claimed,

"The legend of the past generation meets the future"

A fan also hilariously "corrected" the statement,

"Tom Brady meets the goat at the Champions League final* i got you"

The final between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan ended with a score of 5-0, with PSG securing the coveted UCL trophy, but Speed's running commentary and antics were a great entertaining addition.
