Portuguese football icon Cristiano Ronaldo has sparked excitement with a major announcement about his YouTube channel, UR Cristiano. The superstar teased an upcoming collaboration with a “huge name,” which he confidently predicts will “break the Internet.”
Launched in August this year, Ronaldo’s channel has quickly become a sensation. It amassed a record-breaking 20 million subscribers within 24 hours of its debut and has since grown to over 60 million followers.
Speculation is rife about the identity of this mystery guest. Many fans believe it could be YouTube juggernaut MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson), who boasts more than 330 million subscribers and a reputation for viral content. However, another possibility gaining traction is Lionel Messi, Ronaldo’s legendary football rival. A collaboration between the two football giants would undoubtedly send social media and the internet into a frenzy.
Ronaldo has previously hinted at his admiration for Messi, referencing him in several videos on his channel. In one clip, he featured Messi’s infamous remark during a heated exchange with Dutch player Wout Weghorst at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. In another, Ronaldo used the viral “Bye Bye Messi” voiceover after becoming the first footballer to score 900 career goals. These nods suggest Messi could be a potential future guest.
On the pitch, Ronaldo continues to shine. He recently starred in Portugal’s commanding 5-1 victory over Poland in the UEFA Nations League. The match saw the 39-year-old scoring twice—once from a penalty in the 72nd minute and again with a stunning bicycle kick in the 87th minute. His contributions helped propel Portugal to a dominant win and showcased the winger’s enduring brilliance.
With the internet abuzz, fans eagerly await Ronaldo’s next move both on and off the field.
