Arsenal star Eberechi Eze is set to perform a combination of Cristiano Ronaldo's celebration and a bark after scoring his next goal. The Englishman lost to IShowSpeed on EAFC 27 and now has to do the celebration as a forfeit.
Eze joined Speed on his YouTube stream this week and lost to the streamer, who boasts 61.7 million YouTube subscribers. The 21-year-old streamer has been playing against several footballers this week, and the Arsenal man was among them.
Speed was stunned when Eze picked the Ligue 1 side over Arsenal and questioned the former Crystal Palace star straightaway. The 28-year-old quickly said he was not a fan of his side in the game, though he would do anything for them in real life. He said:
"Bro, on FIFA? I ride or die for my team, but on FIFA? I’m not sure about that."
Eze won the first of the best-of-three matches 6-1, beating Speed's Real Madrid with PSG. The Englishman lost the second game 5-2 after picking Arsenal and the streamer picking Barcelona.
In the decider, Speed picked Bayern Munich and won 5-4 against Eze, who once again chose PSG. The streamer led 4-1 before the 28-year-old equalised in the 89th minute, but Harry Kane scored the winner with the final kick.
After the win, Speed told Eze he needed to add a twerk to his usual celebration, but the Arsenal man quickly rejected it before backing out of a backflip. The two agreed that the 28-year-old would do Cristiano Ronaldo's 'SIIUUUU' and follow it up with a bark at the fans.
Cristiano Ronaldo made bold claims and hailed himself as the greatest ever
Cristiano Ronaldo spoke to CNN Portugal last week, calling himself the greatest footballer ever. He believes that the numbers do the talking, and no player can come close.
The 41-year-old still dreams of scoring 1000 goals in his career, but is not chasing them on the pitch. He said:
“People are not valuing the form I am in, my goals. Things have to happen naturally. If I scored 920 goals, 925, 930 … the best in history is me, full stop. The numbers speak for themselves. If I get there (to 1,000 goals), it is amazing, an objective, but I don’t think long-term.”
Cristiano Ronaldo is currently out of the Portugal squad after walking out of camp, but is expected to rejoin in the November break when they face Denmark and Norway.
