Cristiano Ronaldo has crossed one billion followers across his social media accounts.
The footballer has been aided by his newly-launched YouTube channel that has attracted more than 60 million subscribers in just over three weeks.
Ronaldo, who scored his 900th career goal last week to help Portugal beat Croatia 2-1 in the Nations League, is the first human to reach a billion followers on social media.
“We’ve made history, one billion followers! This is more than just a number, it’s a testament to our shared passion, drive, and love for the game and beyond,” Ronaldo said.
“You’ve been with me every step of the way, through all the highs and the lows. This journey is our journey... thank you for believing in me, for your support, and for being part of my life.”
