Cristiano Ronaldo (right) will share more insights into his life through his channel.
Portuguese icon Cristiano Ronaldo has launched his own YouTube channel and has already over 10 million subscribers.
Cristiano Ronaldo, a global icon, is spreading his wings in the world of social media. Having built a massive following on Instagram, X and Facebook, Ronaldo, widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers to have played the game, has made a spectacular debut on video sharing platform YouTube shattering a host of records.
On Wednesday, he launched his channel named ‘UR’ and asked his followers to hit the subscribe button.
And his fans obliged. In record numbers.
Within the first 90 minutes of the channel being launched, it had already hit the 1 million subscribers mark and reportedly, this is the quickest anyone has managed to reach this milestone in YouTube’s history.
At the time of this article going live, Ronaldo’s channel has 11.2 million subscribers and counting.
Interestingly, Ronaldo’s contemporary Lionel Messi – a global football icon himself – has a YouTube channel too and 2.27 million subscribers despite it being launched way back in 2006.
