Participating in the farewell dinner of
Lionel Messi
(34) in Barcelona and, hours later, interviewing him after the official Paris Saint-Germain press conference on his Twitch channel, earned
Ibai Llanos
(26) an enormous popularity.
In less than a week, the Spanish streamer and rapporteur became
one of the most mentioned figures in social networks and the
local and European
media
.
And if someone in Argentina did not know of its existence, they ended up knowing it.
That
sudden fame
came to surprise him.
Proof of this are
the nerves he suffered when he interviewed the star
after his presentation at the Parque de los Príncipes.
In fact, a particular gesture worried his fans, who did not take long to talk about it on the networks.
Is that Ibai has 5.1 million followers on Twitter, the same amount that he gathers on Instagram.
So many of them noticed the
shaking of hands
that Llanos suffered during his report to the soccer star.
He wasn't even aware of doing that.
Facing these types of situations is still very difficult for me.
I feel very grateful and happy but at the same time with a lot of responsibility.
It is a strange sensation of being like in a cloud.

"
Look at Ibai's fingers, he's going to give him something,
" commented a Twitter user next to the video of the interview that 300,000 people saw simultaneously.
"You did great!"
He was congratulated by a fan who added with humor: "But
now we know that you are not good for stealing tambourines
."
"
That pen is still dizzy,
" added another netizen in clear reference to the pen that Ibai had between his fingers as he waved his hands in the middle of the interview.
"
I have a blender that does not turn like those fingers,
" added another Twitter user who noticed that particular detail that amazed everyone.
"
I was not even aware of doing that,
" Llanos himself clarified under that message that garnered more than 240,000 likes, 12,000 retweets and more than 1,000 quoted tweets.
And he admitted, sincerely: "
Facing this type of situation is still very complicated for me
."
"
I feel very grateful and happy but at the same time with a lot of responsibility.
It is a strange feeling to be like in a cloud," he concluded.
I hope you liked it.
This is crazy.
Tomorrow you have the video on YouTube in maximum quality.
By the way, I'm not a journalist, nor do I want to compete with the press, I respect the profession a lot and I have many friends.
But I can't turn down these things if they invite me, I'm already sorry.

Who is Ibai Llanos
Ibai was born on March 26, 1995 in Spain and
since childhood he was fascinated by video games.
And that attraction became first a hobby and then a job when as a teenager he began broadcasting his games.
In its beginnings, it began by showing through YouTube how it played
Call Of Duty
, a popular title for PlayStation and other consoles.
This is how some time later, after offering himself by mail, he went on to officially relate
League of Legends
, a classic video game that is all the rage around the world and that moves millions of dollars in events and tournaments.
The isolation caused by the pandemic ended up popularizing its broadcasts.
And his growth was exponential in 2020. So much so that, just a year later, he even got to dinner at the very house of Lionel Messi before his departure from Barcelona.
