Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, the Portuguese forward football legend, has set another world record by attaining 1 billion
followers across major social media platforms.
The 39-year-old Al-Nassr
forward also became the first male footballer to attain 900 career goals, after
finding his way to the net against Scotland.
According to UEFA
“Ronaldo has since taken his total 132, becoming the first player to score in
five World Cups with his goal against Ghana at the 2022 edition, and finding
the net against a 48th national team with his late winner against Scotland on
Matchday 2 of the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League.”
In a recent development,
Cristiano Ronaldo became the first athlete ever to amass 1 billion followers
across all major social media platforms.
According to NAIRAMETRICS
“Ronaldo, who shared the milestone via a new YouTube channel launched last
month, streamed a live follower count in the days leading up to his billionth
follower.
“His YouTube channel saw
rapid growth, reaching 15 million subscribers on its first day and 50 million
within a week. As of now, the channel has surpassed 60 million subscribers.”
Celebrating the
achievement, Ronaldo remarks on his verified X page formerly
known as Twitter,
“We’ve
made history – 1 BILLION followers! This is more than just a number – it’s a testament to
our shared passion, drive, and love for the game and beyond.
“From the streets
of Madeira to the biggest stages in the world, I’ve always played for my family
and for you, and now 1 billion of us stand together.
“You’ve been with
me every step of the way, through all the highs and the lows. This journey is
our journey, and together, we’ve shown that there are no limits to what we can
achieve.
“Thank you for
believing in me, for your support, and for being part of my life. The best is yet to come, and we’ll keep pushing,
winning, and making history together,” Ronaldo concluded.
