Cristiano Ronaldo's YouTube channel, launched on Wednesday, August 22, set the record for the fastest time to reach one million followers. The channel features Ronaldo, his partner Georgina Rodriguez, their family, and discussions about the reasons and methods behind their success. In the past three days, Ronaldo's YouTube channel has attracted about 23 million followers, and this number is expected to increase rapidly. Many social media users immediately compared Ronaldo's achievement to that of Lionel Messi, the famous Argentine footballer, who, despite launching his channel in 2006, has only about 2.5 million followers on YouTube. The Portuguese football star is also active on other social media platforms, with over 112.5 million followers on X, more than 636 million on Instagram, and over 170 million on Facebook. The 39-year-old Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, can now add his remarkable success on YouTube to his list of accolades. Additionally, there are mentions of a suspension and fine resulting from Ronaldo's 'inappropriate behavior,' his continued success in Saudi Arabia, reaching 1200 games, a lawsuit against him for promoting 'Binance,' which could lead to a one billion dollar penalty, and widespread reactions to his presence in Tehran, criticizing the 'mismanagement' of officials.
