While Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t have plans to retire soon, he is still expanding his brand with his YouTube channel. The Al-Nassr star hasn’t left his competitive nature on the pitch, as he is also set to surpass Mr. Beast as the biggest Youtuber on the planet.

Ahead of Portugal’s UEFA Nations League games, Ronaldo appeared in the press room where he was asked about Mr. Beast and his Youtube channel. “Mr. Beast is the one that I have to beat!” he said with a laugh.

To beat MrBeast’s numbers of subscribers, Ronaldo has a long road ahead, though. The Portuguese star currently has 55,7M subscribers, while MrBeast has recently become the first man with over 300M subscribers back in July, currently having over 313 million. So, Cristiano would need around 257million subscribers to match him.

Cristiano already broke the record for gaining over 20 million subscribers in a single 24-hour period, while MrBeast needed 132 days to reach 10 million subscribers. Of course, this only demonstrated the immense popularity of Ronaldo, who is one the athletes with the best online presence.
