Cristiano Ronaldo is undoubtedly one of the best footballers of the last 20 years. The Portuguese holds several records in the sport, such as the top scorer for international teams and the highest number of goals scored in a single edition of the Champions League.
Now the 39-year-old experienced footballer has just achieved a record outside of football. And that is because, with his foray into YouTube, the Portuguese star turned his YouTube channel into the one with the most subscribers in just 24 hours in the entire history of the platform.
UR Cristiano is the name of the Al Nassr footballer’s YouTube channel, which has only been open for 24 hours. He has uploaded around 19 videos and has already accumulated 23 million subscribers, a record figure on the video platform that will be very difficult to match.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s channel currently features short videos of a maximum of 2 minutes in length in which the footballer can be seen doing exercises and telling anecdotes. These videos have achieved at least 2 million views in the first 24 hours of the channel’s existence.
But without a doubt the most viewed video so far on CR7’s channel is one in which he appears with his wife Georgina Rodríguez. They carry out a question dynamic in which the model and businesswoman gets some of the answers wrong, which is why this clip went very viral on social media.
So much so that this short 2:56 minute video alone already has 17 million views in just one day of being uploaded on the platform.
Without a doubt, Cristiano Ronaldo’s channel will be a new way to interact with his followers and generate a new source of income for him. It should be noted that the Portuguese is the most followed person on Instagram with 636 million followers.
