As a reward, YouTube gifted Ronaldo a golden plaque or the golden button for reaching a million subscribers.
The star released an appreciation video hours after launching his channel.
In the video, the AL Nassr forward proudly shows his YouTube play button to his family and dedicates it to his equally ecstatic children.
“I have a game to play with you of which the winner will receive this gift (the Golden Play Button).,” Ronaldo tells his children in the video.
The football player had fun announcing his channel’s launch, asking fans to “SIUUUbscribe,” a reference to his goal celebration.
“A present for my family ❤️ Thank you to all the SIUUUbscribers!” Ronald posted.
The “UR” channel will see Ronaldo talk about football matters above “other interests including family, wellness, nutrition, preparation, recovery, education, and business,”.
YouTube awards play buttons at five different success intervals.
