Alisha Lehmann joined YouTube sensation iShowSpeed to watch the Euro 2024 quarter-final match between England and Switzerland – and her mum was also in attendance.
Switzerland international Lehmann, dubbed the “world’s sexiest footballer”, has been in Turin in recent days to complete her transfer to Juventus, while her boyfriend Douglas Luiz also joins the Italian giants.
But he took time out to cheer on his compatriots as they looked to book their place in the Euro semi-finals against England on Saturday night.
Footage has emerged of Lehmann bizarrely connecting to iShowSpeed to watch the game, with the 19-year-old wearing a Swiss jersey for the occasion, despite being originally from the United States.
As they sat down before kickoff, Lehmann turned to the YouTuber before pointing off-camera and exclaiming: “Hey, this is my mom!”

iShowSpeed thought Lehmann’s mother called him “stupid,” but she was referring to his fans.

IShowSpeed stood up to hug Lehmann’s mother and an awkward exchange ensued as she appeared to say, “You’re so stupid!”
IShowSpeed was shocked, but Lehmann quickly corrected himself, adding, “Not you, your fans (are stupid).”
The YouTuber proceeded to pretend to cry after briefly thinking that Lehmann’s mother had called him stupid.
But he did shed real tears on Friday night when his hero Cristiano Ronaldo was eliminated from the European Championship with Portugal after being beaten on penalties by France.
After a 0-0 draw, France won the ensuing penalty shoot-out 5-3, despite Ronaldo scoring his own penalty.
Just four days earlier, iShowSpeed had also live-streamed Portugal’s round of 16 clash against Slovenia, and was ready to celebrate Ronaldo’s first goal of the tournament when Portugal were awarded a penalty in extra time.
However, the Portuguese superstar’s penalty was saved by Jan Oblak, leaving iShowSpeed stunned.
Ronaldo’s reaction was even more dramatic, as he broke down in tears at half-time and needed to be consoled by his teammates.
Less than 24 hours after being left heartbroken by the exit of Portugal and Ronaldo, iShowSpeed was back in front of the camera to watch another quarter-final match, and this time he had Lehmann and his mother for company.
Lehmann, who has more than 16 million followers on Instagram, and iShowSpeed have both signed on with energy drink Prime, which could explain their link.
Prime was founded by YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul.
