Hamburg: Portuguese football legend Cristiano Ronaldo’s debut on YouTube, with his channel “UR-Cristiano”, was nothing short of extraordinary as it broke records and has now made a mark in the Guinness World Records (GWR).

The star athlete launched his own channel on the world’s largest video-sharing platform on August 21, which has continued to gather subscribers since then. The GWR has now recognised the 39-year-old Al Nassr star’s YouTube channel as one with the most subscribers gained in 24 hours. Earlier this week, the organisation stated on its website that Ronaldo’s “domination of social media has continued” with his YouTube channel reaching 19,729,827 subscribers in one day.  The number was exclusively revealed to Guinness World Records this week, according to VN Express. According to WikiTubia, a site specialising in YouTube records, Ronaldo’s channel reached 100,000 subscribers in 22 minutes, one million subscribers in 47 minutes, and 10 million subscribers in 11 hours and 31 minutes. What’s even more astonishing is that the channel has gathered 50 million subscribers in just one week. He also owns a Facebook account with 170 million and an X account with 112 million followers.
