Lionel Messi surprised his fans with an unexpected move, shortly after his rival Cristiano Ronaldo launched his YouTube channel, which quickly became a phenomenon on the platform. While the world was still digesting the overwhelming success of Ronaldo’s “UR” channel, which broke records by reaching more than 5 million subscribers in just four hours, Messi also decided to speak out on the matter.
In a recent interview, Messi commented on Ronaldo’s new venture: “I think it’s amazing to see how Cristiano is always looking for new ways to connect with his fans. YouTube is a powerful platform, and I’m sure he’ll bring content that his followers will love.”
Messi, known for being more private about his personal life, surprised even more by revealing that he is also considering expanding his online presence: “I have been thinking about exploring new ways to share a little more of my life with the fans. Seeing Cristiano doing this so successfully inspires me to maybe do something similar in the future.”
This statement has sparked a wave of speculation among fans, who are now wondering whether Messi could follow in Ronaldo’s footsteps and create his own YouTube channel or other digital platform.
Regardless of any future moves, it’s clear that the rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo continues to inspire both to explore new territories, both on and off the pitch.
