Amid his rumoured suitors, read filthy rich men willing to pay earth-spinning sums for the light of a dying star, was Inter Miami, the club his greatest peer, Lionel Messi, turns up for.  Miami could have been football’s Hollywood; a Messi-Ronaldo collaboration would look like the instances when Al Pacino and Robert de Niro have come together for the odd caper. The too-fictitious-to-be-true union never happened, though not impossible in the future. After all, the whole clan of Marvel superheroes have shared the same cosmos. But as it is, Messi and Ronaldo, the greatest-ever rivals in football, keep holding a mirror to each other, gauging and forever pushing each other’s buttons. Nonetheless, imagining them as teammates is a splendid conjecture, even if they are past their prime. Ronaldo receiving a needle-of-the-eye pass …

Cristiano Ronaldo was asked once why crowds jeered him. He shot back with his quintessential smirk and sarcasm: “Because I’m rich, handsome and a great player.” He was only 26 when he popped out the one-liner that defines him even when has turned 40. Only that, he could append the line. “Because I am the richest footballer in the world; the most expensive player in the world, the highest goal-scorer in the world; the most followed person on Instagram, a brand value of €850 million” Because, it could be added, he is a successful businessman.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s YouTube channel: Another foray into self-celebration and conceit | Football News

Published by Webster

Cristiano Ronaldo does not want to go quietly into the sunset. Rather, he wants to suspend the sunset, and be the sun and horizon himself. So, at the near-end of his acclaimed career, he ventures out of his six-yard comfort zone into the unknown lanes of YouTubing and reel-popping. He was exemplarily seamless at switching roles, transforming from a jet-heeled winger of rebellious curls and ornate step-overs to the slick-haired goal machine of a centre forward, the stuff of footballing lore. This, though, could be the most challenging of his evolutions, not in terms of attracting ‘SIUUUbscribers” or making watchers hit the ‘like’ button, but to ensure that he doesn’t make a parody of himself. Just hours after he launched his channel, UR Cristiano, it broke the world record by becoming the fastest channel to hit one million subscribers (in less than an hour). In four days, the number swelled to 42.5 million, a rate of scoring that would make his goal-scoring boots blush and surpassed his great rival and contemporary Lionel Messi (who has …
