Can you think of any athlete who started a YouTube channel and truly changed the entire website landscape? No, right? Well, Cristiano Ronaldo has done that efficiently. With over 45.5 million subscribers, Ronaldo’s course to challenge MrBeast for the most subscribed individual on YouTube stays on track. Yet, some questions arise about this jump into content creation. Was it too soon?

ESPN soccer analyst Julien Laurens joined Gab Marcotti to voice their concerns about his YT channel, ‘UR Cristiano‘. Usually, athletes have a glorious career and soon after they retire, they explore ways to have a sustainable income. Some athletes have a content show focusing on various lifestyles, a travel blog, etc, and generate revenue with views they receive for that specific content. The ESPN analysts believe it would be interesting to watch what content Ronaldo would give out to his fans. Challenging MrBeast on YT subscribers won’t be a straightforward task. It’s an interesting development in Ronaldo’s life. However, Gab Marcotti believes Ronaldo should first focus on his soccer career.

In his quick take, Marcotti mentioned, “I am curious to know where he goes with this. I just want to see him keep playing. Keep playing as long as you can coz for now, you’re a better footballer.” Like every soccer fan, the time is nearing for legends like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to untie their laces. They have ruled the soccer fraternity for ages and continue to do so, in one way or another. Consequently, Marcotti believes Ronaldo should refocus his goals on YouTube after he retires from the game.

Marcotti stated, “Maybe after you retire, you’ll become bigger than MrBeast.” As most of us know, MrBeast holds the title of the undisputed king of YouTube with 312 million subscribers. Yet, Ronaldo already has 45.5 million in four days. Just four days!

He received the famous Silver Creator, Golden Creator, and Diamond Creator titles in hours. With MrBeast’s videos on crushing a Lamborghini with the largest shredder, it would probably take time for Ronaldo to think out of the box. However, safe to say that we are with Marcotti. We want to see Ronaldo play soccer before he retires.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr held to a draw!

In the opening match of the Saudi Pro League, Al Nassr faced Al Raed only for the game to finish 1-1. The Portuguese international scored a goal in the 34th minute to put his side upfront. Yet, Mohamed Fouzair equalized in the 49th minute to hold the team to a draw. There’s unfinished business for Ronaldo in the Saudi Pro League, after winning one Arab Club Champions Cup in Saudi Arabia tenure.

Notably, he won the league title by showcasing his brilliance on the field, in whichever country he played. With Al Hilal proving to be what Barcelona was to Real Madrid during his yesteryears, Ronaldo hopes to lead his team to victory. Meanwhile, the other narrative gaining attention is Ronaldo’s interest in starting a YouTube channel.

For some, it raises questions on whether he is finally calling it quits on his soccer career. Are these mystery clues to show the calm before the storm? Is Ronaldo retiring to focus on things other than soccer? Let us know in the comments below.
