WHAT ISHOWSPEED SAID ABOUT MESSI VS RONALDO
Speed's reaction to the Messi Fortnite skin reflects where he falls on the Messi vs Ronaldo debate. The YouTuber previously booed Messi being substituted on during an Inter Miami game, when the 19-year-old was dressed in an Al-Nassr shirt with 'Ronaldo' on the back. As Messi was introduced, he started jeering and screaming "Ronaldo's better!" and "Messi's finally gotten a game!"
THE BIGGER PICTURE
The latest IShowSpeed video came after a Messi skin was added to Fortnite. According to Marca, "he has been included but not only with one skin. There are two lines of skins, so to speak, one with light colors and the other with darker tones where black and gold are the protagonists."

WHAT NEXT FOR MESSI?
Messi's inclusion in the video game comes during a quiet period for the Inter Miami star. After his team's shock MLS Cup play-off defeat to Atlanta United, he'll be resting and wondering how he can help turn things around next year for David Beckham's franchise, who claimed the Supporters' Shield but are still yet to win an MLS Cup despite their explosive transfer dealings and clear quality.
