Cristiano Ronaldo‘s popularity on YouTube has skyrocketed ever since the legendary striker opened a YouTube channel named ‘UR Cristiano’. The channel has amassed over 63.9 million subscribers in a very short period of time, and with 54 videos released till date, it’s popularity is only going up. The most recent video on the channel features Ronaldo in a Formula 1 car with the names of Lionel Messi and Robert Lewandowski on the thumbnail.

A closer look at the clip shows Ronaldo ‘racing’ against the biggest names in football on his way to becoming the global top scorer. When his Al-Nassr themed Formula 1 car passes Lionel Messi, the voice-over hilariously comments ‘bye Messi, bye!’.

As of now, Ronaldo has surpassed the 900-goal mark and is currently on 904 career goals. His eternal rival Leo Messi on the other hand, is on 843 although he has significantly more assists.

Ronaldo is followed by Messi and then Josef Bican, Romario and Pele in the list of all-time top scorers. Ronaldo is currently on seven goals and 2 assists in all competitions this season and has scored in all of his last three games.

Fans react to Cristiano Ronaldo’s latest YouTube video

The latest upload on Cristiano Ronaldo‘s YouTube channel has over 2.4 million views in a day. Titled ‘The craziest race of Cristiano Ronaldo…’, the video has been subject to a lot of criticism on social media. Fans singled out one particular moment from the clip, where Ronaldo overtakes Messi and laughs at the Argentine. The tone of the clip, coupled with the fact that it came out almost at the same time when Messi lifted his 46th career trophy made many question the intentions of the Portuguese.

A lot of fans commented that he is still trying to create his own happiness among fans, knowing well and good that Messi has surpassed him in the debate. A supporter stated that Ronaldo is almost 40 and still posts ‘cringe’ clips like the one. Many expressed their relief that they picked the right star to support and that Ronaldo is more focused on YouTube these days. Here are some of the reactions:

As things stand, Ronaldo and Al-Nassr are currently fourth in the Saudi Pro League while Inter Miami and Lionel Messi recently clinched the Supporters’ Shield. They are top of the MLS table with 68 points in 32 games. Messi’s impressive record of 17 goals and 10 assists 17 games is even more impressive given the fact that he missed a lot of games after the Copa America due to a serious ankle injury.
