He holds records for the most appearances, goals, and assists in both the Champions League & European Championship, as well as the most international goals & appearances. With over 890 official senior career goals for club and country, Ronaldo stands as the top goalscorer of all time.
Making His Mark On YouTube🎯
Ronaldo celebrated the launch of the channel by sharing videos, which included a teaser trailer and an entertaining quiz game featuring his partner, Georgina Rodriguez. The channel also features 19 other videos which include him meeting his wax figure at Madame Tussaud, Cristiano Vs. his kid, and his responsibilities beyond football, among others.
The record of hitting the 10 million mark on YouTube was earlier held by Hamster Kombat – but it took them 7 days to reach the milestone. Ronaldo’s channel has already surpassed the 15 million subscribers mark and continues to grow at the same pace as his goals in the game.
“I am very happy to make this project come to life,” Ronaldo told Variety. “It has been in my mind for a long time but finally we have the opportunity to make it real. I have always enjoyed having such a strong relationship with fans on social media, and my YouTube channel will give me an even bigger platform to do so and they will learn more about me, my family, and my views on many different subjects. I am also looking forward to sharing conversations with guests that will no doubt surprise people,” he added.
