Cristiano Ronaldo has reached another milestone: 1 billion social media followers. Ronaldo, who currently plays for Al Nassr in Saudi celebrated his record breaking achievement on social media, of course.
Recently, he also scored 900 career goals, another massive achievement. He share his gratitude with fans, saying:
“We’ve made history — 1 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.
“From the streets of Madeira to the biggest stages in the world, I’ve always played for my family and for you, and now 1 billion of us stand together,” he said.
Arguably, he is one of the most recognisable people in the world. On the football pitch, probably beside Lionel Messi, he could be considered among the greatest of all time.
Outside the pitch and as a brand, his family, including his mother, sisters and children, are a central part of who he is.
From Maderia, to Lisbon, to Manchester, to Madrid, Turin and Riyadh, he has scored goals and won trophies everywhere.
“You’ve been with me every step of the way, through all the highs and the lows. This journey is our journey, and together, we’ve shown that there are no limits to what we can achieve.
“Thank you for believing in me, for your support, and for being part of my life. The best is yet to come, and we’ll keep pushing, winning, and making history together.”
