The 67th edition of the Ballon d’Or, awarded by France Football magazine, honored the world’s top football players for the 2022–2023 campaign. All the nominees and icons from the football community attended the prestigious ceremony, which was packed with celebrities.

However, the social media sensation IShowSpeed was also invited to the awards ceremony in Paris and stole all the limelight with his over-the-top entertainment. Before the event even began, he spoke with Erling Haaland and other prominent stars who graced the red carpet with their honored presence.

Interestingly, 24-time Grand Slam title champion and World No. 1 Novak Djokovic also attended the Ballon d’Or awards event in Paris. He was chosen to present the Women’s Ballon d’Or 2023, which went to Barca’s Aitana. While IShowSpeed met many talented sports celebrities there, his conversation with Novak left the world rolling, as is generally true with the American streamer.

Interesting exchange of words between Novak Djokovic and IShowSpeed

In a video clip, Novak convinced IShowSpeed that he is an AC Milan professional player who will be appearing soon. Novak has always been humorous, and he didn’t fail to prove it while talking to IShowSpeed. That said, there is no denying that the meet-up was something fans never knew they needed.

It all ended on joyous terms between IShowSpeed and Novak Djokovic. While Speed was unaware of Novak’s triumphant tennis career and was convinced by whatever the GOAT himself was telling him, the video instantly went viral, eliciting a plethora of reactions online.

The World No.1 said:

 I'm the new AC Milan star. I haven't played yet but I'm getting on in the next game. Going for the hat trick.

Furthermore, the popular YouTuber was also seen with Recceba, another internet sensation who gained popularity through his football video clips. IShowSpeed was rocking a black suit on the carpet and was seen having the time of his life amid all the ceremonial scenes.

Lionel Messi won the eighth Ballon d’Or for his achievements at last year’s World Cup in Qatar. He led Argentina to victory, scoring seven goals, and was named the tournament’s best player. Spain’s World Cup-winning sensation, Aitana Bonmati, received the women’s accolade.
