With one announcement, Cristiano Ronaldo surpassed Lionel Messi in just one hour and received an award that no one expected.
This time, the rivalry went off the pitch and onto territory that was unknown to Cristiano Ronaldo until August 21, 2024. Even many of Lionel Messi’s fans didn’t know that the Argentine player had an argument to fight CR7.
If it’s about the sporting side, the last few days have not been good for Cristiano. The Portuguese striker played with Al-Nassr in the Saudi Arabian Super Cup, and despite scoring the first goal of the match, he ended up feeling helpless when he saw how Al-Hilal came back in the match, beating them by four goals to one.
And that wasn’t all! Cristiano Ronaldo was once again a direct witness to how the chant ‘Messi, Messi’ began to spread through the stands of a stadium in Saudi Arabia and reached more than a million views on X. The time to get through that bad time was about to come for CR7 with the added value of receiving an unexpected prize.
“When you ask Cristiano Ronaldo not to share information about his new project,” was the voice heard in the video that CR7 posted before making the announcement that would surpass Leo Messi in just one hour. The new venture was to come with a record included.
The mystery came to an end with the following message from Cristiano on X: “ The wait is over. My YouTube channel is finally here ! Siuu… Subscribe and join me on this new journey .” The followers arrived in 3, 2, 1… An hour passed and CR7 can afford to boast that he surpassed the more than 2.2 million that Messi has on YouTube and, in addition, broke the historical record of reaching one million subscribers after 90 minutes since the opening of the channel called ‘UR Cristiano’. Anything else? Of course!
Cristiano beat Messi in just one hour and received an unexpected reward
Not having a YouTube channel, who would have thought that Cristiano Ronaldo would win this award, but in just 90 minutes he did. CR7’s new YouTube channel, ‘UR Cristiano’, not only surpassed Messi’s subscribers in an hour, it also earned the Portuguese the ‘Golden Creator Award’ that YouTube gives out when one million subscribers is surpassed. And there’s another distinction on the way, as ‘UR Cristiano’ crossed the ten million subscriber barrier and will receive the ‘Diamond Creator Award’.
Will Cristiano Ronaldo invite Lionel Messi to his YouTube channel?
There was already an unintentional hint. During the Champions League awards ceremony in August 2019, Cristiano made a public invitation to Lionel Messi: “I hope we get together for dinner.” Then came Leo’s response in September of the same year when he told the Spanish newspaper Sport “ I have no problem. I always said that I have no problem with him, that we were not friends because we had not shared a dressing room. Every time we saw each other it was at galas or awards. Even at the last one is when we talked the most and were closest. ”
