The star player of the Saudi club Al-Nasr launched a YouTube channel on Wednesday, August 21, 2024. In the first 55 minutes, he gathered 100 thousand subscribers. In 90 minutes, the number reached 1 million, the fastest in YouTube's history.
Interestingly, Cristiano Ronaldo's channel quickly surpassed the channel of Lionel Messi, the striker of Inter Miami. The Portuguese's channel has almost 20 million subscribers, while the Argentine's has "only" 2.4 million.
However, Ronaldo posted 19 videos in the first day after the channel was created. Messi has much more videos - 207, but the newest one is already nine months old.
