Antonela Roccuzzo, the wife of Lionel Messi, garnered praise for her response to iShowSpeed’s selfie request, but it turned out that he had mistaken her for someone else.

The popular internet sensation live-streamed the entire event, engaging in banter with Emiliano Martinez, experiencing an awkward encounter with Josko Gvardiol, and dancing along with the musical guest.

Following the conclusion of the show, Speed was spotted pointing his phone towards a group of women, presuming that Antonela was among them, as they were engrossed in a conversation. Despite his attempts, he failed to elicit a response, expressing his frustration, saying, “She’s ignoring me, bro… she’s ignoring me. I just want to get a picture.”

He then redirected his attention to other famous figures nearer to the stage, including Vini Jr and Jude Bellingham.

One comment simply exclaimed, “Queen,” while another pointed out, “Lionel Messi’s wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, ignored Speed when he asked for a picture.”

Another comment critiqued Speed, saying, “What he expect when he constantly says s*** about Messi.” A fourth person agreed, “She’s definitely seen him slander Messi.” However, it appeared that Speed had approached the wrong person altogether.

Speed later engaged in a conversation with Vini Jr, who was delighted to see him and expressed his loyalty to Brazil, despite his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal.

As Bellingham left the venue after receiving the Kopa Trophy for the best player under 21, he thanked the American for his support.

Earlier in the evening, Speed appeared perplexed when Croatia’s Josko Gvardiol seemed to be looking in his direction. Initially, he misinterpreted the situation when asked for a photo. It turned out that the photo request was on behalf of Gvardiol’s friend, and the 21-year-old ended up playing the role of the cameraman. Speed chuckled upon realizing the innocent intent behind the request.

One response humorously noted, “Gvardiol asking speed for pics I’m crying.” while another commented, “No way Gvardiol asked to take a pic with Speed.”
