The Portuguese star will venture into the world of the Internet and has generated a sensation among his followers
Cristiano Ronaldo has created a stir among his fans after announcing the launch of a YouTube channel called “UR Cristiano.”
The Portuguese star’s foray into the world of the Internet sparked the interest of many people, and in just a few hours he already has eight million subscribers.
This figure far exceeds that of Lionel Messi’s official channel, which has 2.23 million followers since its creation more than 15 years ago.
CR7’s first guest was his partner, Georgina Rodríguez, and together they sent a message to all their followers.
“I think that (YouTube) is an ideal platform to be able to share a little of my life and my things. It is a way to be closer to my fans, to my people,” said the footballer in the presentation video.
He and Georgina played a game where they had to guess each other’s favorite thing using whiteboards, and this same video has 6 million views in just 10 hours.
From the first minutes of Cristiano’s channel going live, he gained more than 200 thousand subscribers.
Even Cristiano Ronaldo received the 1 million subscriber plaque from YouTube the same day he opened it and shared it with his family.
