Cristiano Ronaldo has made headlines once again, this time off the football pitch. The seasoned Portuguese forward has set a new record by becoming the fastest to reach 10 million subscribers on YouTube. Ronaldo achieved this milestone just a day after launching his channel, surpassing the previous record held by Hamster Kombat, which took seven days to hit the same number.

Ronaldo, renowned for his football achievements, now adds this YouTube success to his list of accolades. Beyond YouTube, he boasts impressive social media numbers: 112.6 million followers on X, 170 million on Facebook, and a staggering 636 million on Instagram.

At 39 years old, Ronaldo continues to play for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, where he has been outstanding, scoring 49 goals and providing 13 assists in 47 matches. Recently, he played in the final of the Saudi Super Cup against Al Hilal, scoring a goal but ultimately falling short as Al Nassr lost 4-1.

However, 2024 has been challenging for Ronaldo on the international stage. Portugal, led by Ronaldo, was knocked out of Euro 2024 after a penalty shootout loss to France. Ronaldo did not score in the tournament, marking a rare scoreless performance across all five matches he played.

Despite these setbacks, Ronaldo’s achievements off the field continue to showcase his remarkable influence and success beyond football.
