Cristiano Ronaldo is widely regarded as being one of the best soccer players the world has ever seen. The Portuguese born striker is famous for his goal scoring ability, trickery, and winning mentality for both his club teams and his country.

Only 23 years of age, Ronaldo rose to fame from Sporting CP, moved to Manchester United, and clinched his first Ballon d’Or. He then moved to Spanish giants Real Madrid in 2009 where he played for 9 fruitful seasons winning several Ballon d’Or.

In 2018, Ronaldo took on a new challenge by signing for Italian champions Juventus. Currently 36 years of age, the superstar continues to perform for his team at the highest level and set new records almost every season in terms of goal scoring. He has won 5 Champions League trophies, 7 league championships and the Euro 2016 for Portugal.

In addition to being one of the best football players in the planet, Ronaldo is now also a business man and an international celebrity. He claims to have reached almost half a billion followers in social networks. Cristiano Ronaldo also aimed at reaching even more people and therefore, the football star launched an official YouTube channel in November, 2020 named ‘Cristiano Ronaldo.’

The channel makes fans get a glimpse of the real Ronaldo and his life which is harder to come by than the actual show. Videos offer sneak peeks into his training sessions, techniques to ease muscle soreness, time with his family, and traveling. It captures millions of viewers who want to know what keeps such an elite athlete and celebrity as Cristiano Ronaldo motivated and going in his daily day routine in his mid-30s.

But in the next few years, as his footballing days are gradually phased out, a new era of a YouTubing Ronaldo will dawn. It is the ideal opportunity to be with the fans, market his world brand and business and career change once he retires from football. Given the current trend, one could easily predict that Ronaldo could soon become one of the biggest YouTubers among the retired athletes.
