Cristiano Ronaldo has broken another record on YouTube after surpassing a huge total of subscribers, trouncing Lionel Messi in the process.
The iconic footballer started his own YouTube channel this week to amazing success, breaking a world record after a rapid rise.
And now Ronado has breezed past Mr Beast for the most subscribers in 24 hours, reaching 20 million subscribers to beat the American social media star.
Mr Beast has the most subscribers on the planet with over 311 million – but Ronaldo has his sights set on that total and already has 34.2 million.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s YouTube has been a massive hit
While the Al-Nassr star might have a long way to go, if his Instagram is anything to go by, he will smash that number in no time at all.
The 39-year-old has the most Instagram followers in the world, boasting a total of over 636 million.
And it is the latest strike Ronaldo can clock up against his long-term rival Messi, whose own YouTube page has just 2.7 million subscribers.
Ronaldo managed to beat that number within hours of launching his YouTube channel, which already has plenty of content on it for desperate fans.
That includes a huge hint indicating that he has married long-term partner Georgina Rodriguez during a game of Mr and Mrs.
That video is already his most popular and has 27 million views.
“I am very happy to make this project come to life. It has been in my mind for a long time but finally we have the opportunity to make it real,” Ronaldo said after launching the site.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s YouTube channel features plenty of his family
“I have always enjoyed having such a strong relationship with fans on social media and my YouTube channel will give me an even bigger platform to do so and they will learn more about me, my family and my views on many different subjects.
“I am looking forward to sharing conversations with guests that will surprise people!”
