Ronaldo aims to dethrone MrBeast as top YouTube sensation

Shortly after his debut, Cristiano Ronaldo's YouTube account is among the top 50 in the world in terms of the number of subscribers. There is still a long way to go to reach the top spot, but the Portuguese player has already announced an attempt to challenge MrBeast's position.

Cristiano Ronaldo's YouTube debut was a major event in the online world. One of the world's most popular athletes joined the largest video platform. The captain of the Portuguese national team already has 57 million subscribers, placing him in the world's top 50.

Subscriptions and records. You have to look at it with perspective, which doesn't change the fact that I want to beat the best on the internet as well - says Cristiano Ronaldo at a Portuguese national team press conference.

Everything will happen in due time. I can already feel that fans are happy, and a few months ago, my goal was to be closer to them. So I'm glad I went from idea to execution - adds Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese player was also asked if he plans to become the biggest YouTuber in the world. The number one in terms of subscribers is American creator MrBeast, who has been creating for many years and has already gained 313 million followers. That's about six times more than Cristiano Ronaldo has so far.

We'll see how it goes in two years - said Cristiano Ronaldo with a mischievous tone, hinting that both he and his collaborators plan to invest a lot of effort in growing on another social media platform.

For now, Cristiano Ronaldo will focus on playing for the Portuguese national team. The team from the Iberian Peninsula has matches in the Nations League ahead, and its captain announced that he wants to play in the national team at least until the World Cup in 2026.
