In a shocking incident during the recently-concluded FA Cup final between Manchester United and Manchester City at Wembley Stadium, YouTuber IShowSpeed faced an unprovoked attack from a spectator.
The Internet sensation was in the stands to watch the historic clash between the bitter Manchester rivals. He was seemingly sitting in the neutral area of the stadium although there was a Manchester United-coloured hat in his hand.
And as he was enjoying the game, one spectator decided to become aggressive for reasons known only to him. In a video that has gone viral on social media, the spectator could be seen shoving IShowSpeed. The YouTuber, however, claimed that he was “punched”.
Before the spectator could do anything else, IShowSpeed’s bodyguard intervened and took the matter in his own hands. IShowSpeed, on the other hand, was not at all impressed with the incident as he looked shell shocked with the unprovoked attack. The American was heard telling the aggressor: “Why did you just f*****g punch me bro?
“Bro why did you put your hands on me bro. Why did he just punch me bro? I didn’t even touch him,” he added.

The latest incident has further extended IShowSpeed’s poor footballing experience in England. Last year, he visited England twice to see his idol Cristiano Ronaldo twice but luck deserted him on both the occasions. On both the occasions, Ronaldo did not play due to injury.
The game did not end on a good note for him either as Manchester United failed to win the clash. Erik ten Hag’s man lost the game 1-2 as Manchester City remain on course to complete a famous trebled. Ilkay Gundogan scored a brace for City while Bruno Fernandes scored a penalty for United.
City, who have also won the Premier League this season, will be looking to end their campaign with a historic Champions League trophy. They will be taking on Inter Milan in the final.
