Cristiano Ronaldo's mega-fan Speed was barely able to contain his excitement as he finally met his idol after Portugal's 3-0 win over Bosnia.
The YouTube star had previously missed out on watching the legendary striker play after flying from America to the UK only to find he had been left out of the Manchester United squad through illness.
Speed's dream has now come true, though, and he fell to the ground at Ronaldo's feet after meeting him outside his car on Saturday.
He shouted 'Oh my God I love you' at the 38-year-old and took a selfie, while the forward seemed amused by the interaction.
They recreated Ronaldo's famous celebration together and shared an embrace while surrounded by confused-looking security staff.
While It's not every day a fan falls at Ronaldo's feet in admiration, it had already happened to the former Man United man earlier that evening.
As Portugal stormed to a comfortable win earlier that evening thanks to goals from Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva, the Al-Nassr man was embraced by a pitch invader, who also fell at his feet and performed his 'siu' celebration.
He remained motionless and was grabbed by the spectator who seemed to give him a bear hug, before bowing down in front of him, all while holding a Portugal flag.
Seeming to be equally confused by the incident, Ronaldo stood as the pitch invader rose to his feet once again.
He preceded to hoist the legendary forward a couple of feet into the air before dropping him back onto the floor.
The supporter then quickly sprinted away to evade the encroaching security guards.
After the game, Ronaldo posted a few shots of himself on Instagram with the caption: 'Great win, team! Thanks to all the Portuguese people for their support!'
There had been doubts over the striker's international future after Portugal's World Cup exit to Morocco and his move to Saudi side Al-Nassr.
But Ronaldo is once again proving everyone wrong and scored a duo of goals in his t two previous international appearances against Liechtenstein and Luxembourg.
He went goalless against Serbia but did play the full 90 minutes as Portugal maintained their 100% record in qualifying.
